While the long-running animated series South Park has made a name for itself lampooning figures from Al Gore to Paris Hilton, its latest takedown of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump may be beyond the pale. We just thought he was amusing.

Wednesday night’s episode opened with Kyle being honored at the White House by President Obama for his inspirational speech in support of the reality star. It was a joke. If they were lying in wait for the flawless moment to attack him, they clearly found it. But this episode-while shocking!-pretty much just reiterated existing cultural jokes about Trump’s bluntness and xenophobia instead of tackling him from some suprising, South Park-ian new angle. “The Canadian president has been fucked to death!”
A lot of the coverage is mocking and dismissive in tone, but the very real fear is that the country may sleep-walk into allowing the insane b*stard into office. Comedy Central Donald Trump and Garrison wrestle before Trump’s death in front of his security guards.
“After we’ve f*cked every last one of them to death, we build a big wall”.
The confrontation begins with a verbal debate, followed by a scuffle between the two characters and ends with imagery portraying Donald Trump being sexually assaulted by Mr. Garrison. Trump has been elected Canada’s leader, prompting a mass exodus of Canadians towards the US.
On the same episode, meanwhile, South Park took aim a certain egocentric, self-centered, racist loudmouth.
“Now I might not understand politics, or immigration policies, or the law, or basic ideological concepts”, Garrison, absorbing a great deal of Trump’s spirit and style, tells supporters.
Once in Canada, Garrison discovers that Trump had become president, which prompted many Canadians to leave everything behind and flee to America in the hope of a better life, or at least a better President. The episode left no stone unturned in burning Trump, the same way the writers have done to many famous people before.
As a character that has fought his own transgender battles, Mr Garrison chooses Caitlyn Jenner as his running mate.

It turned out Canada had built a wall on its border to keep Americans away because, as a Canadian border guard puts it, “We just don’t want you raping our women and stuff”.
