The creators of the long-running and enthusiastically insolent TV show “South Park” aren’t known to be huge fans of President Donald Trump. However, they’ve decided to adopt one of his ideas — in a way.
They’re changing — at least for the moment — the name of the popular series, which just won the Emmy for outstanding animated program.
In a statement posted on the show’s Instagram page, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone say they are “changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA.” The statement comes as Trump, escalating his trade war with Canada, has declared he’s renaming Lake Ontario to be known as “Lake America” in the United States.

The move by the two satirists, a week before the 29th season premiere of “South Park” — er, “SOUTH AMERICA” — also takes aim at Apple and Google, which have adopted Trump’s changes, as well as the show’s own parent company.
