‘South Park’ creators no longer want to satirise Donald Trump: “It takes over everything”

South Park have said they will no longer be satirising Donald Trump on the show, and will be skipping this presidential election.The iconic adult animation has been on air since 1997 and has run for a total of 26 seasons as well as a number of recent one-off specials.The show’s writers Trey Parker and Matt Stone have revealed in a new interview with Vanity Fair that they do not intend to bring the show back in time for the election in November, and that decision was made in part due to Trump dominating the campaign for a third consecutive cycle.“We’ve tried to do South Park through four or five presidential elections, and it is such a hard thing to—it’s such a mind scramble, and it seems like it takes outsized importance,” Stone said. “Obviously, it’s fucking important, but it kind of takes over everything and we just have less fun.”“I don’t know what more we could possibly say about Trump,” added Parker.Confirming that the show would not return until 2025, the duo were asked whether this was due to them deliberately avoiding having to cover Trump again.
