The creators of South Park have never shied away from controversy, but their latest move has reignited a fiery feud with Donald Trump — and this time, it’s personal. In a blistering 5-word statement released ahead of their upcoming episode, the show’s creators responded to Trump’s recent remarks about the series with a jab that’s already being called one of the most savage clapbacks of the year.
Last week, during a rally in Scranton, Trump took a moment mid-speech to criticize South Park for what he called “a long history of disgusting, un-American garbage.” The comments appeared to reference the show’s consistent satirical portrayal of Trump-inspired characters over the past several seasons, particularly the long-running depiction of Mr. Garrison as a grotesque Trump stand-in.
In response, South Park co-creator Trey Parker reportedly issued a sharp five-word comeback via a Comedy Central spokesperson: “We’re Not Done With Him.”
The quote was first published in The Hollywood Reporter’s coverage of the episode’s press rollout, which also confirmed that the next installment of South Park will heavily feature a storyline parodying Trump’s recent legal troubles, including the hush money trial and mounting federal charges. Sources close to the production revealed the script was rewritten just days before animation was finalized — specifically to reflect Trump’s remarks.
