When I caught sight of this tweet earlier, I honestly assumed it was some kind of spoof. Even Trump couldn’t be this shallow. Not even he would attempt to hit back at a satirical cartoon mocking him by bragging about the size of his cock.

However, I just got in from my daily trundle, and among other things came across this summary by the Beeb. It’s all true: Trump was apparently so upset by a recent South Park episode poking fun at him that it’s creators have now issued a mock apology. I haven’t watched the episode in question yet so I can’t comment on it, but I find it utterly bewildering how shallow and juvenile American political discourse is becoming. While part of me is laughing, when you remember that we’re now watching the president of the world’s most powerful nation attempting to lash out at his critics by bragging about the size and shape of his cock, another part of me is genuinely worried.
