The US government ruins Thanksgiving: it’s a South Park holiday special
  • In the latest episode of South Park, titled Turkey Trot, the show satirizes U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who finds himself frustrated by a bumbling police detective while Thanksgiving festivities are jeopardized. This episode marks a lighter moment in a season filled with intense storylines, including Donald Trump's controversial plot involving his unborn child with Satan.
  • The portrayal of Hegseth in a negative light underscores the show's tradition of using real-life figures to comment on current events, reflecting the ongoing tensions in U.S. politics and public sentiment towards government officials.
  • This episode also highlights the complex relationship between entertainment and politics, as figures like Donald Trump selectively engage with media narratives, often ignoring shows that garner significant viewership, such as South Park, which continues to push boundaries in its critique of contemporary issues.
