As hostile foreign powers pray for “death to the USA” and civil war after the upcoming 2024 presidential elections, Courtney Lodge proposes a strategy. He suggests that if Kamala Harris wins the presidency, she could consider pardoning Donald Trump for his numerous criminal convictions. This proposition may seem more suited to a political thriller than the current landscape of US politics but it has emerged as a reasoned strategy for enhancing national and global peace.
In his book Kamala’s Gameplan: The Impact on Global Peace When President Kamala Harris Pardons Donald Trump , Lodge articulates how such a controversial act could serve as a bridge to healing a fractious nation, potentially yielding ripples of stability that extend far beyond America’s borders, including to Jamaica. Lodge tackles the pivotal crossroads the United States finds itself at as it approaches the 2024 election. The spectre of political chaos looms large, particularly with hostile international actors poised to exploit divisions.
At the crux of Lodge’s narrative is a call for empathy and forgiveness in the face of impending crisis. He highlights the need to acknowledge the external and internal forces that capitalise on American discord as the country marks its 250th anniversary of its War of Independence in 2025. Yet, rather than dwelling in despair, Lodge quickly pivots to a sense of hope, suggesting that Harris’s presidency, particularly with a thoughtfully crafted game plan, could rest.
