The highest office of the United States of America is under attack from the television community. Late-night show hosts like Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert already dedicate the start of every episode to bringing down President Donald Trump, and now the show South Park has taken another shot at Trump. Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker aren’t backing down and have now taken their onslaught on Trump’s reign to another level.
Borrowing from real-life events around Trump’s plan for reclassifying marijuana, the premise of the entire episode is a plea for him to do the same. The viewers of the show will be familiar with the character Towelie, who is basically a towel who likes to be stoned all the time. Towelie takes a trip to Washington DC in order to push the president over the edge so that he can continue his recreational activities without judgement, but that isn’t the only goal. Apparently Randy Marsh (another character) wants to turn his marijuana farm into a global tech company, and he needs Trump’s help to do it.
The city shown in the episode is under full military control, with tanks patrolling the roads in front of the Capitol Building. Even the Union Station is swarming with military personnel; somewhere the real-life vice president and the defence secretary of the country actually went and were welcomed by travellers with some jeering. Towelie gets into a long line, filled with people trying to appease the leader and get their demands heard. Apple CEO Tim Cook is one of the people in this line, and he gifts the president a 24-karat golden plaque (another event that took place in real life). Towelie gets his chance, and through a hologram, Marsh explains his plan to Trump. The president keeps Towelie for himself in the White House, where our stoner friend meets Satan.
Remember the episode where Donald Trump was in bed with Satan? Yeah, that relationship is now out of the window, and Satan can be seen hyperventilating in the bathroom. He says to Towelie, “What am I doing here? Towelie tells him, “Please, I want to get out of here,” to which Satan replies, “So do I, but there is no escape from this place.” The episode also pokes fun at ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and shows them rounding up all the workers at Marsh’s marijuana farm. The president’s office has responded to the past references made by the show, but they haven’t commented about the recent episode.
