Excerpt: "The twice-impeached, repeatedly indicted president has for decades harbored intense, mean-spirited pop-culture fixations, and that personality trait has not changed six months into his second administration. It would be easier to shrug off his celebrity obsessions as mere cattiness, if waging war on late-night television and its corporate owners weren’t an actual facet of his administration’s sprawling project of #authoritarianism and #fear.
"Prior to the White House’s statement, Rolling Stone had asked several Trump advisers if clips of the latest South Park episode had been circulating among Trump’s staff. One senior administration official replied, 'Of course,' noting how much their phone had lit up about it. A Trump adviser also said they’d seen it, and that as a longtime fan of the series, they found it 'disappointing.' [Who cares!]
"Trump recently secured a hefty payout from Paramount to settle his meritless lawsuit against CBS News’ 60 Minutes, based on his claims that the show selectively edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris, his 2024 opponent, to 'make her look better.' The agreement is part of a broader pattern of major corporations settling Trump’s baseless lawsuits, agreeing to shovel millions of dollars into his presidential library fund () to accommodate the president.
"The Paramount settlement comes as the firm seeks regulatory approval for its merger with Skydance — and appears to contain more than just a payout to Trump’s library fund. According to Trump, the deal includes a $16 million settlement as well as $20 million 'from the new Owners, in Advertising, #PSAs, or similar Programming.'
"South Park specifically skewered the reported PSA arrangement on
Wednesday. The episode concluded with an AI-generated PSA showing a fully nude Trump wandering the desert with a 'teeny tiny' penis."
Trump's library fund? Do they mean Fantasy Island Book Store? lol! 😂
