Expert reveals why Trump won't get 'South Park' canceled despite being able to 'move some mountains'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: President Donald Trump is reportedly “seething” over the latest season of 'South Park', which has taken repeated jabs at him, sources claim.

The show’s creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, dismissed the backlash, but insiders warn that Trump’s displeasure could lead to calls for cancellation, similar to what happened with 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert'. 

Donald Trump furious over latest 'South Park' attacks

The new season of 'South Park' has portrayed Donald Trump in controversial ways, including scenes with Satan, triggering strong reactions from the president.

Moreover, at a press briefing on Wednesday, August 6, the Republican leader attacked several late-night hosts, saying, “Colbert has no talent... I could go outside and pick up a couple people that do just as well or better. They’d get higher ratings than he did. Fallon has no talent, Kimmel has no talent. They're next, I hear, they're going to be gone."

Sources told multiple outlets that Trump is “extremely unhappy” with South Park's portrayal of him and is considering using his influence to strike back.

At a recent San Diego Comic Con panel, Stone and Parker addressed the criticism lightly by making a joke apology, saying, "We’re terribly sorry."

While Trump reportedly remains upset, Adrienne Uthe, Founder and Strategic Advisor at Kronus Communications, told the Irish Star, "I'm sure Trump could move some mountains to damage the 'South Park' name and potentially get it cancelled."

She added, “It wouldn't be a good look. You've got to be able to laugh at yourself, and needing to silence voices only shows weakness in this instance. 'South Park' is consistent in that they make fun of everyone, let them cook.”

‘South Park’ takes aim at JD Vance in new Donald Trump-themed episode

In its latest episode titled "Got A Nut," 'South Park' once again targeted Donald Trump, this time including Vice President JD Vance in a comical portrayal set at the president's Mar-a-Lago estate.

The episode, which focused on ICE and immigration, featured a viral animated scene where Vance appears noticeably smaller than Trump. The character design also exaggerated his facial features using a meme-inspired style.

Vance’s first line in the episode is, “The plane is here from immigration and customs enforcement,” to which Trump snaps, “I know stupid, let’s go.” Later, Trump is seen kicking Vance and shouting, “Will you get out of here?”

'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' cancellation sparks speculation on political motive

CBS executives cited ratings and a declining advertising market as the reason for cancelling 'The Late Show', which originally launched in 1993. George Cheeks, Chair of TV Media at CBS, recently stated, “The challenge in late night is that the advertising marketplace is in significant secular decline. We are huge fans of Colbert, we love the show, unfortunately the economics made it a challenge for us to keep going.”

The cancellation came right after Paramount Global, CBS’s parent company, settled a $16 million lawsuit with Trump in July over the editing of a '60 Minutes' interview featuring Kamala Harris. Given the timing, speculations emerged that CBS' move to cancel Colbert's show could be politically motivated.
