A Gulf Called Madness

byRainer Hofmann

May 8, 2025

It is an absurd theater unfolding in Washington - a play titled "Gulf of America," staged by a government that believes it can rewrite geography with a simple vote. One might laugh if it weren't so telling of the state of a nation caught in a whirlwind of symbolic politics and ideological obsession.

What is a name? For this government, apparently everything. A gulf is renamed, not because it reflects reality, but because it pleases those in power. The Gulf of Mexico disappears on paper, replaced by a "Gulf of America," as if the power to twist words were the power to rule the world. Yet the coasts remain, the sea endures - only the arrogance grows.

One has the feeling of watching a nation look in the mirror and see a distorted image of itself. A mirror where Trump's America is the only thing that matters. A world where history is erased, geography redrawn, and reality is bent to the will of the strong. A gulf called madness.
