Donald Trump's growing obsession with the word 'America' has sparked a fresh round of political satire, this time from the creators of South Park. After Trump pushed controversial renaming efforts involving Lake Ontario and New Mexico, the animated comedy has announced its own tongue-in-cheek rebrand: 'South America.' The joke takes aim not only at Trump's naming moves, but also at Google and Apple for updating their maps to reflect the changes for US users. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker also took a swipe at Paramount Skydance and its leadership, turning the announcement into a broader parody of politics, business and corporate influence. The show's latest jab comes after years of mocking Trump, and just days after South Park won an Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program for 'Sermon on the Mount,' an episode that also targeted the American president. 00:00 — Trump’s Renaming Spree 00:10 — South Park Rebrands to South America 00:30 — From 'New Mexico' to 'Lake America
