Speaking about making jokes about the 2020 presidential election, which saw Trump lose to Joe Biden, Parker previously told Australian TV show 7.30: “It’s tricky now because satire has become reality. “It’s really hard to make fun of and in the last season of South Park, which just ended a month-and-a-half ago, we were really trying to make fun of what was going on but we couldn’t keep up and what was actually happening was much funnier than anything we could come up with,” he added. “So we decided to kind of back off and let them do their comedy and we’ll do ours.” Donald Trump in ‘South Park’ This will be the first time South Park has missed a new season release since the show launched in 1997.
