South Park spent much of its last season focused on mocking Donald Trump, and now the long-running Comedy Central series is doing it again.
With the president changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, South Park announced via its X (formerly Twitter) feed that it's changing its name to South America.
“Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google," read the post, "we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA. We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount -- a Skydance Capitulation.”

Will this spill over into Season 29 in some fashion? Or is it just a social media thing to get some attention on the upcoming premiere? We'll see in a week.
When is the South Park Season 29 premiere?
That would be Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 10 p.m. ET.
