The most recent series of the animated adult series - which ended a month-and-a-half ago - did feature a character who resembled President Trump, but Parker and Stone have now decided not to include his character in any upcoming shows.

Parker told Australian nightly affairs programme 7.30: "It's tricky now because satire has become reality.

"It's really hard to make fun of and in the last season of South Park, which just ended a month-and-a-half ago, we were really trying to make fun of what was going on but we couldn't keep up and what was actually happening was much funnier than anything we could come up with."
