This wouldn't be the first time Trey Parker has commented on not wanting to follow President Trump's antics in South Park, as he and Matt Stone talked fairly recently about how the constant current-events writing really wore them out. Parker indicates in his interview with the Los Angeles Times that the two are working towards moving away from their satirically topical format by making an effort to return to the types of random episodes that are more similar to the show's glory years. Parker notes that he regrets falling into the same hole that so many other shows did in covering the President and current events as extensively as they did.
