The premiere of South Park Season 27 satirizes Trump's legal battles, his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, and personal issues. The Department of Homeland Security attempted to leverage the show's imagery in a recruitment push, sharing associated South Park images on social media. The use of the show's content aligns with the humorless tone of government communications in the current political climate. Amid this, the official White House and DHS accounts deliver increasingly absurd social media posts while Americans remain skeptical about government humor.
The July 23 premiere of Season 27 skewered Trump's extractive legal battles with the media and other institutions, his long entanglement in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, and, well, his manhood.
The Department of Homeland Security has since tried to reclaim the narrative, using South Park for its own ends by putting an image from the show into a try-hard tweet.
The show's X account tweeted a pair of images, debuting a South Park-ian version of real DHS Secretary/ influencer Kristi Noem.
Americans generally tend not to look to the government for daily doses of humor, but try telling that to the second Trump administration.
