South Park was pretty nice to Obama overall and he had a decent ability to take a joke so I'm guessing he liked it.

I assure you Trump does not like South Park.

But at the end of the day it doesn't matter what they think. There would be huge outrage if a President tried to silence a satirical show. They wouldn't be able to get away with it.

I understand that any American president is not like Putin. However, you (as a nation) have a history of character murdering, firing for politically incorrect statements etc.

You might end up fired or losing a contract, but you’re not going to end up in jail. In South Park’s case, there’s a very slim chance that the creators will lose their contracts—they’ve been doing this for a long time.

Pretty sure they are beyond the point where firing them would put them out of work.
