'South Park' creators explain show's recent focus on Donald Trump

  • Stone explained that their decision to parody Trump was motivated by a delayed deal with Paramount due to needing government approval for a merger.
  • Parker said 'It's like the government is just in your face everywhere you look,' justifying their focus on Trump and the MAGA movement.
