Saddam Hussein Has Returned to ‘South Park’ — As President Donald Trump

We’re starting to see why Paramount delayed South Park Season 27.

In 2025, President Donald Trump is ruling America like he’s a small-dicked Middle-Eastern dictator by suing his critics into submission and using the military as his private plaything — or so say the writers of South Park. Back in September 2024, Trey Parker and Matt Stone claimed that they had run out of ways to satirize Trump, having previously written themselves into a corner with the tumultuous President Garrison arc, and that they were waiting out the 2024 general election to begin South Park Season 27 to avoid having to devote too much of the new season to politics. They lied.

Tonight’s Season 27 premiere, “Sermon on the ‘Mount,” was one, half-hour long, no-holds-barred attack on the state of Trump’s America in 2025 and the President himself, who has been recast after Mr. Garrison gave up the role with a blast from the past: Saddam Hussein, wearing Trump’s skin and tiny penis like a disguise, is the current President in South Park.

He’ll probably sue us just for blowing his cover.

In “Sermon on the ‘Mount,” Randy Marsh whips the town into an uproar after he learns from Stan that P.C. Principal (now Power Christian Principal) has rebranded as a far-right evangelical and is forcing the students of South Park Elementary School to befriend Jesus Christ, following Trump’s victory in 2024. And this isn’t the metaphorical, let-him-into-your-heart befriend Jesus message — Jesus Christ himself is now a daily attendant at South Park Elementary, thanks to Paramount’s bribe--um, “settlement” with the President.

When Marsh and the townsfolk decide to take on the President and voice their outrage over the destruction of the separation between church and state, they find that, following the events of the Season 26 finale, former President Garrison has quit politics and settled down for a quiet life with his boyfriend Rick. In his stead, Donald Trump now runs the White House, and Trump speaks with a suspiciously Canadian-Iraqi accent when he announces that he is suing anyone who says anything he doesn’t like and tells everyone to “relax, guy.”

South Park’s President Trump claims that he isn’t “a dictator from the Middle East,” and, yet, he has a strained romantic relationship with Satan (who has seemingly recovered from his fight with ManBearPig) and bears all the mannerisms of Saddam Hussein, perennial antagonist from the early seasons of South Park (and the late-1990s-to-early-2000s of the world). Satan even comes close to sniffing out his small-dicked boyfriend’s real identity in their final scene of “Sermon on the 'Mount.” 

President Saddam Trump seems to be here to stay in Season 27, and after years of championing a unique brand of both-sides-are-equally-stupid nonpartisanship, Parker and Stone have seemingly decided that the current Trump administration is too destructive and draconic for them to pretend that Trump is anything besides what every sensible American knows him to be: a lying, sociopathic dictator whose penis is so, so small.
