South Park Challenges Trump to Sue Them in Debut Episode After Signing $1.5B Deal With Paramount

The hit animated series "South Park" appeared to challenge President Donald Trump to sue them in the premiere of their 27th season after signing a $1.5 billion deal with Paramount, who just settled a lawsuit with Trump for millions.

In the clip, which has rapidly spread online amassing millions of views, Trump repeatedly threatens to sue characters for saying or doing things he does not like.

After a naked portrait of Trump shows him with small genitals, the president kicks the official who supervised it and the artist out of the White House, yelling that he's "going to sue" them.

"Nobody makes fun of me and gets away with it!" Trump's character says.

The scene then shifts to Trump's bedroom, where "South Park" places him in bed naked with Satan, where he seemingly tries to get Satan to have sex with him, saying "I've been working hard all day."

"You haven't been working, you've been doing your stupid memes and just f***ing around," Satan says, before taking a jab at the size of Trump's penis. This prompts Trump to slap him and threaten to sue him.

Many users online have interpreted this as a challenge for Trump to sue "South Park," as well as just general jabs at the president over how he handles criticism.

"Trump will sue again once he sees this!" one user wrote. Another added, "Hopefully, South Park is not muzzled."

"If he sues, then this episode gets 100x the audience it otherwise would have gotten. Let's see if he can't help himself," one user said.

CBS agreed to a settlement with Trump earlier this year after the president sued over CBS News' "60 Minutes" episode with former Vice President Kamala Harris. CBS, who is owned by Paramount, agreed to pay Trump $16 million in response to his lawsuit asking for $10 billion.

Meanwhile, "South Park" signed a $1.5 billion deal with Paramount on Wednesday, the day before the episode premiered. The deal agreed to 50 episodes over the course of five years and all episodes of previous seasons will be available on Paramount+, Variety reported.

The comedy series' jab at Trump also comes after the network canceled late night TV host Stephen Colbert's show "The Late Show" days after criticizing the settlement.

Trump has since celebrated the cancellation of Colbert's show, calling for other late night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon to be fired. Colbert responded to Trump's celebratory remarks and digs at in him in the following episode of his show, telling Trump to "go f*** yourself."
