The "South Park" season 28 finale, "The Crap Out," depicted Donald Trump in a satirical plot attempting to abort his Antichrist baby with the help of JD Vance, while maintaining a contentious relationship with Satan.The episode concluded with the baby's apparent suicide, a twist Trump hailed as a "Christmas miracle" at a White House party, satirically referencing Jeffrey Epstein's mysterious death and fueling conspiracy theories.This aggressively anti-Trump season also featured characters like Peter Thiel, Stan, Jesus, and Tim Cook, further lampooning contemporary politics, religion, and media, including a parody of Fox News anchors.
