South Park uses Emmy win to troll Trump because why wouldn't they?

Animated series South Park has taken home its fifth Emmy award and 'thanked' the man who inspired much of its content: Donald Trump.

At the 78th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sunday night, the Comedy Central show won Outstanding Animated Program.

Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone acknowledged thatSouth Park hasn’t won the award since 2013, and so of course posted a graphic on Instagram.

The official South Park account posted a picture of the president with his pants down, and victoriously holding an Emmy - despite never having won one.

South Park celebrates Emmy by trolling Trump

Trump is notorious for claiming any sort of victory as his own (such as adding his name to the historic Kennedy Centre as one of the first acts of his second term).

He wanted an Emmy for his role in the early 2000s version of The Apprentice, and was vocal about the ‘injustice'.

“I got screwed out of an Emmy!” he declared in the final episode of Celebrity Apprentice. “Everybody thought I was going to win it! In fact, when they announced the winner, I stood up before the winner was announced.”

So the South Park creators knew what they were doing with their Emmy's victory post.

It's especially important to note that that show won for its season that centered the president, focusing on a caricature of Trump entangled in an abusive relationship with Satan.
