  • The official Season 27 trailer depicts President Trump rubbing Satan’s leg under a dinner table at a black-tie event.
  • The teaser also shows Eric Cartman telling classmate Bebe she “hates America and loves abortion” alongside a parody of influencer Charlie Kirk.
  • Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s real-time production model often means footage created for promos may not appear in the final episode.
