WATCH: Trump remembers 9/11 victims and heroes at Steel Across America anniversary event
Nearly a quarter century after a day "etched forever into the memories of Americans," President Donald Trump honored the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on Tuesday by vowing to "never forget."
Satirical program "South Park" has rebranded itself as "South America" in response to Donald Trump's attempts to rename geographical locations after his own name. The Comedy Central series, known for its sharp satirical commentary on those in power, announced its new title with pride, citing inspiration from the bravery and patriotism of tech giants Apple and Google, who recently capitulated to Trump's demands to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America".
Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the show's creators, expressed their gratitude towards their parent company Paramount - a Skydance Capitulation in their statement. Paramount Skydance, owned by Trump ally David Ellison, is on the verge of becoming one of the largest media conglomerates in the US following its $111bn merger with Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), a move that has drawn significant backlash from the creative industry.
The 29th season of "South America" is set to premiere on September 16 and will be available globally on Paramount+.
