'South Park' mocks Trump's DC takeover in upcoming episode

An upcoming episode of "South Park" is set to make fun of President Trump's efforts to crack down on crime in Washington, D.C.

A teaser for the Wednesday evening episode, released on social media and YouTube, shows the iconic character Towelie arriving in Washington.

As Towelie gets off a bus arriving in the District, a tank rolls by in front of the White House while the character says, "This seems like the perfect place for a towel."

Trump has sparked widespread backlash with his takeover of the local police force and mobilization of National Guard troops to help fight crime in D.C.

"South Park" has used the first several episodes of its new season to mock Trump and his allies, poking fun at the administration's deportation efforts as well as controversy relating to the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The show has targeted media conglomerate Paramount, the parent company of Comedy Central, which earlier this year awarded the show's creators a new lucrative contract for rights to broadcast the animated satire program.
