A South Park writer has launched a new website following the death of three American troops in President Donald Trump's war with Iran, as a wave of criticism online prompted #SendBarron to trend Monday.

The White House has called President Trump "the president of peace" — but the internet had a different reaction to that following his comments acknowledging that lives would be lost in the war against Iran, The Daily Beast reported. Americans started asking about whether the president's youngest son, Barron Trump, would join the fight in the "noble war."

Just after the service member casualties were announced, DraftBarronTrump.com went live. The website was created by Toby Morton, a former South Park writer and comedian who has about 50 political satire websites, including those mocking the Trump-Kennedy Center, Moms for Liberty and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Morton has dubbed himself a "Creator of Anti-Fascist Websites." ...

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have dropped their highly anticipated final episode of the season, taking a stand against the Trump administration and signaling a "reset" for the franchise.

The South Park season 28 finale featured Stan seeking a miracle and a major showdown between pregnant Satan encountering President Donald Trump as Santa and Vice President JD Vance as an elf — all dressed up for the holidays — while they arrive to free Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and MAGA billionaire and "antichrist expert" Peter Thiel. But when Jesus shows up, per Trump's request, Satan's water breaks and the gang heads to the hospital, "where doctors pronounce the child has died in the womb, the result of a suicide suspiciously similar to Jeffrey Epstein’s (the foetus supposedly hung itself, although there is a minute of ultrasound footage mysteriously missing)," according to The Guardian.

The episode revealed even more about what the creative duo has considered about Trump — and the expected battle ahead. ...

A writer Thursday is warning South Park creators they might have just gone too far, saying "I'd be calling up the lawyers" after Wednesday night's episode.

"Indeed, with the benefit of time, [Matt] Stone and [Trey] Parker seemed much more willing to tackle some of the most irresistible major MAGA news of the week: reports that Peter Thiel is obsessed with the antichrist," Slate's David Mack writes. "Yes, the tech billionaire and J.D. Vance patron is the latest figure to find himself being animated in the signature South Park two-dimensional style. If I were Thiel, I’d be calling up the lawyers I used to help bring down Gawker to sue Comedy Central for making me look like Skeletor."

Thiel, a billionaire Trump administration ally who pushed to bankrupt and ultimately take down Gawker, was mocked by the show using a popular 6-7 meme, adding how "the phrase has terrorized teachers across the U.S., as young students find any excuse they can to reference the two numbers."...

South Park’s depiction of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk has sparked renewed outrage online from many MAGA faithful in the wake of Kirk’s targeted killing on Wednesday.

“Trey Parker and Matt Stone have blood on their hands,” wrote X user “Lucker Teter,” who claims in their bio to be an attorney and “MAGA-Hulk,” and has amassed more than 24,000 followers, referencing the show’s creators. “Remove South Park from all streaming services.”

Kirk was depicted on the popular Comedy Central show in an episode last month by one of the show’s main characters, “Eric Cartman,” who played a satirized version of the right-wing influencer, engaging in debates on college campuses rooted in biblical arguments. Kirk embraced his depiction on the show, telling Fox News he found it humorous....

South Park continues to spark outrage from MAGA after its latest episode took aim at President Donald Trump’s tariff policy, igniting an online firestorm from many Trump loyalists, some of whom accused the show’s creators of being in the pocket of the Democratic Party.

“Wow,” wrote X user “Kentucky Girl,” a self-described “MAGA constitutional conservative” and “patriot” with more than 45,000 followers, in response to a social media post Wednesday night promoting the new South Park episode. “Total sellouts for the [Democratic National Committee] now.”

Airing late Wednesday night, the latest South Park episode chronicles one of the characters’ struggles in purchasing a Chinese doll amid Trump’s so-called ‘reciprocal’ tariffs, which have seen a litany of American companies forecast price increases, and some companies outright discontinue exporting certain goods to the United States....

The latest episode of South Park lampooned President Donald Trump’s ongoing takeover of Washington, D.C. Wednesday night, and some conservative critics say they’ve reached the “end of the road” with the show as MAGA outrage floods online.

“Is this really the best you could come up with?” wrote X user “WokePeopleTakingLs” Wednesday night in response to the episode, a self-described Republican who describes “leftists” as “vile disgusting creatures.”

In the episode, the recurring character “Towelie” is depicted walking the streets of the nation’s capital as armed soldiers and tanks patrol the streets. The episode also mocked tech CEOs for showering Trump with gifts, with the president depicted for a second time this season in an unflattering manner....
