Abstract: We analyse statements by US President Trump issued since returning to the White House in early 2025 and focus on pronouncements concerning three particular sites: South Africa, Gaza and Greenland. A coordinated array of specifically settler colonial imaginings emerges: South Africa is a site of past settler struggle–a spectre, it must be punished and turned into a warning; Gaza is a site of contemporary settler struggle–it must be erased and emptied of its inhabitants; Greenland is imagined as a site of future settler colonial endeavour–it must be subdued and pre-emptively owned. We observe the articulation of a fully-fledged global settler colonial imaginary with populist characteristics, and a general move away from apologetic settler colonialism and towards a form of aggressive or unapologetic settler colonialism.
