"South Park" is back to take onPresident Donald Trump– andLabubus. The Comedy Central series returned Sept. 3 with a new episode titled "Wok is Dead," which escalates an ongoing storyline involving Trump being in a romantic relationship with Satan. In the episode, an early scene shows Trump getting off Air Force One, and Satan follows closely behind him. After a reporter confronts the president on whether he is romantically involved with Satan, he denies it, and Satan chimes in to insist they're "just sort of hanging out." But the press isn't buying it, and one journalist said, "Come on, President Trump. With everything you've been doing, pretty much the whole country thinks you're (having sex with) Satan now." A news segment subsequently questions Trump's relationship with Satan, and an anchor notes, "The president's been seen less and less with his wife and more often with his new pal." But Trump continues to deny that he and Satan are together, despite plenty of evidence that they are. Later, Satan confides inVice President JD Vancethat although he is unhappy in his relationship with Trump, he has a secret preventing him from leaving. At the end of the episode, this is revealed to be a pregnancy test showing a positive result. "Yes, we're together," Satan announces to the world. "We've been together for months, and I want to leave him but I can't because I'm pregnant." The media is shown celebrating confirmation that they were right about Trump and Satan, while famous Trump supporterKid Rockemotionally declares he is "so happy" about the news. The episode also takes on the craze surrounding theLabubuplush toys, and Butters tries to buy one for a girl he likes, only to run into issues because of tariffs imposed by Trump. The toys are later shown to be used as part of a Satanic ritual that summons Trump and Satan. Every episode of"South Park" Season 27to date has featured Trump as a recurring character. Though the hit animated series is no stranger to political humor, its parody of Trump and his administration in the new season has been particularly unsparing. It all started with theSeason 27 premiere on July 23,which introduced the idea that Trump was Satan's lover and portrayed him as a thin-skilled bully who threatens to sue anyone who gets on his bad side. The series' depiction of Trump, which involves placing photos of the president on a cartoon body, is virtually identical to the way "South Park" previously parodiedSaddam Hussein. The first episode of Season 27 prompted the White House to hit back. Spokesperson Taylor Rogers told USA TODAY the show "hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention."
