- South Park released its Season 27 premiere on August 6, featuring a highly realistic portrayal of Donald Trump using practical effects and deepfake technology.

- South Park secured a $1.5 billion agreement with Paramount that includes 50 new episodes available on Paramount+, while White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers dismissed the show as a "desperate attempt for attention."
- The episode sparked White House backlash and a $5 billion lawsuit from Trump, yet Kirk embraced his parody and acknowledged the show’s cultural influence amid ongoing political satire.
