Paramount's recent $16 million settlement with Donald Trump has ignited a firestorm. Stephen Colbert's show was canceled, Jon Stewart launched a profanity-laced attack, and now, South Park has weighed in with a brutally satirical episode titled "Sermon on the 'Mount." The episode depicts Trump as a self-interested dictator with a microscopic penis, regularly seen in bed with Satan. The show satirizes Trump's lawsuits and Paramount's perceived cowardice. The plot involves Cartman's outrage over NPR's defunding and culminates in a deepfake video of Trump's tiny penis, declaring its love for America. This episode is a direct challenge to Trump and a test of Paramount's willingness to stand by its most provocative show, especially given their recent $1.5 billion deal with South Park's creators. The question remains: will Paramount capitulate again, or will they risk further damage to their reputation by defying Trump?
