In a surprising move, the long-running animated series “South Park” is following in the footsteps of Donald Trump by changing its name for the upcoming 29th season. The show will now go by the name “South America,” a direct nod to the U.S. president’s penchant for renaming geographical features to include “America.”

Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone announced the name change, citing inspiration from tech giants Apple and Google for their bravery and patriotism. The decision to rebrand the show is a playful jab at Trump’s controversial efforts to rename various landmarks in the country.

The timing of the announcement is notable, as it comes on the heels of Trump’s suggestion to rename New Mexico to New America. This move by “South Park” reflects its ongoing satirical take on current political events, particularly the Trump administration.

The show’s parent company, Paramount Skydance, which is currently embroiled in legal issues related to alleged dealings with Trump, adds another layer of irony to the name change. Despite the contentious backdrop, “South Park” has a history of pushing boundaries and mocking political figures, including Trump, much to the chagrin of his supporters.

As the Emmy-winning series gears up for its 29th season premiere on Comedy Central and Paramount+, fans can expect more sharp-witted humor and satirical takes on current events. The rebranding to “South America” sets the stage for what promises to be another season of irreverent comedy and political commentary.
