‘South Park' wins Emmy, trolls Trump, who's always wanted one

President Donald Trump has always said that he deserved an Emmy Award for his old TV show 'The Apprentice.' So the anti-Trump creators of 'South Park' were sure to troll Trump when their program won a major Emmy. 'South Park' won its fifth Emmy for Best Animated Show on Sunday night, in a season in which the program ruthlessly lampooned Trump, the Independent reported. The 'South Park' account on Instagram toasted its Emmy win with a post that yet again trolled the president. The post featured Trump clutching an Emmy trophy, surrounded by other program characters, and with his pants and underwear around his ankles. 'You finally got your Emmy,' a message at the top of the image declared, while in another note along the bottom fans were reminded: 'New episodes September 16.' Trump hosted the business competition series 'The Apprentice' from 2004 to 2015, with his pithy, 'You're fired!' becoming part of the American lexicon. But despite its popularity, 'The Apprentice' never won an Emmy, much to Trump's chagrin. 'The Emmys were horrendous…the absolute worst show,' Trump wrote on X in 2012. In another post he wrote, 'The Emmys are all politics, that's why, despite nominations, The Apprentice never won — even though it should have many times over.' In 2016, Trump's Democratic presidential opponent, Hillary Clinton, referenced the posts during a presidential debate, saying: 'There was even a time when he didn't get an Emmy for his TV program three years in a row, and he started tweeting that the Emmys were rigged against him.'
