In its first two episodes of the season, South Park has aimed its satirical guns squarely at the Trump Administration. The first episode was mostly about mocking Trump himself, while the second, which debuted Wednesday night, was aimed at ICE and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, with a B-plot going on to target conservative pundit Charlie Kirk.

At the end, the episode visited Mar-a-Lago, with Trump still the pathetic, Satan-humping figure of the previous week, now joined by JD Vance, as a short sidekick who speaks and dresses like Tattoo, Herve Villechaize’s character from Fantasy Island, one who gets kicked by Trump. The Mar-a-Lago scenes also feature young women giving massages to old men, in what’s almost certainly meant as a shot at vintage stories about Jeffrey Epstein.

These satirical targets have responded to the South Park mockery in various ways.

The White House responded to the first episode with a scathing statement, both accusing the show of being irrelevant and accusing liberal fans who praised the episode of hypocrisy. Both Charlie Kirk and the official account of ICE shared images from the episode before it aired, possibly unaware that South Park was taking shots at both of them.

JD Vance, however, appeared to have a good sense of humor about the whole thing. On X, the vice president shared a photo from South Park‘s official account of their version of him and Trump, along with the caption “well, I’ve finally made it.”

Kristi Noem, depicted in the episode as a gun-toting lunatic who’s constantly shooting dogs, in between moments when her face melts off, does not appear to have responded to South Park‘s caricature of her, although some social media wags did respond to her X account with photos and clips from the show:
