According to the creators of “South Park,” US President Donald Trump is mouthing policies that would make him a “jester of jokes,” leaving them outdone in coming up with satirical script.

In an interview with ABC News Australia, creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker divulged that for the show’s upcoming 21st season, they decided to “support” Trump and his administration because they are exhausted to scrutinize him for his controversial policies and zingers.

“It’s tricky now because satire has become reality,” Parker reflected. “It’s really hard to make fun of and in the last season of South Park, which just ended a month-and-a-half ago, we were really trying to make fun of what was going on but we couldn’t keep up and what was actually happening was much funnier than anything we could come up with.

“So we decided to kind of back off and let them do their comedy and we’ll do ours.”

For the past few decades, the satirical cartoon ruthlessly ridiculed several American personalities, but the American commander-in-chief is already enacting his own style of humor, according to Parker. For this season, they molded Trump’s image and personality in a character named Mr. Garrison.

“They’re already going out and doing the comedy,” Parker exclaimed. “It’s not something you can make fun of.”

“We’re having our head blown off like everybody else,” Stone echoed.  Gianna Francesca Catolico
