The premiere of South Park's 27th season features a bold episode that critiques Donald Trump and his supporters, drawing sharp reactions from the current US administration. Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker faced backlash from conservative fans and the White House, which accused them of hypocrisy after they signed a $1.5 billion deal with Paramount. The subsequent episode, titled "Got a Nut," continues the political satire, focusing on right-wing figures and iconography, while addressing issues of race and virality in media through characters like Eric Cartman and Clyde.
The episode follows two different stories: in one, the show's resident bigot, Eric Cartman, is outraged to learn that fellow fourth grader Clyde has risen to prominence as a white nationalist podcaster who makes offensive claims about women, Jewish people, Black people and other minority groups to goad them into debating him in exploitative viral videos.
During that time, the show released several stills from the follow-up episode, which widens its sights from Trump to his media mouthpieces and foot soldiers.
