When Eric Cartman's favorite show, NPR, is canceled by U.S. President Donald Trump, Cartman fears that "woke is dead", and attempts to kill himself and classmate Butters Stotch via carbon monoxide poisoning. Meanwhile, due to Trump's nationwide mandates to push Christianity, PC Principal, now calling himself Power Christian Principal, invites Jesus to a school assembly, to the protest of Randy Marsh and other parents. As a result, Trump sues the town of South Park, resulting in the town being required to pay $3.5 million and produce pro-Trump messaging.

After Mr. Mackey is fired due to federal budget cuts, he gets a job with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), where he participates in the arrests of undocumented immigrants. Meanwhile, Clyde Donovan starts a right-wing debating podcast, which angers Cartman, who feels Clyde has "stolen his shtick". Cartman sets up his own successful podcast, but Clyde ultimately wins a Charlie Kirk Award for Young Masterdebaters over him, which includes a free vacation to Mar-a-Lago. Mackey's performance as an ICE agent earns him a meeting at Mar-a-Lago with Trump, who wants to help him with his expenses by giving him a promotion that will see Mackey as the face of the Department of Homeland Security. Mackey is horrified by the debauchery at Mar-a-Lago, and he and Clyde escape.

In order to get funding from the government, Randy sends Towelie to a militarized Washington, D.C. to make a deal with President Trump, who is getting gifts from many well known CEOs and leaders. When Towelie arrives, it is revealed that Randy gave Towelie to Trump as a gift. Eventually, Sharon convinces Randy to shut down his farm once and for all after using a sycophantic tone similar to ChatGPT. It is revealed that Towelie is now used as Trump's personal semen rag.

The girls at South Park Elementary have begun regularly fighting with each other over Labubu toys. One of the girls, Red, approaches Butters at recess and asks him for a rare Labubu for her birthday. He heads to an Asian pop-up store to do so and is asked to pay increasingly high prices for the toys due to tariffs causing price increases. Concurrently, Jesus investigates the Labubu toys and learns they are being used for demonic rituals. Butters manages to get the requested Labubu and goes to Red's birthday party, where she summons Donald Trump and Satan. Jesus arrives at the party and confronts Satan, causing Satan to confess that Trump has impregnated him, making him unable to leave the relationship.
