With the amount of money at stake and the way he has cheated the country, would you want to be remembered as the person who pardoned trump? Perhaps not right away, but eventually, Gerald Ford was sorry for having pardoned Nixon.

No way trump can pardon himself for this. He can try, but it's not likely he'd get away with it. JMHO, but he has screwed up way too badly, been skimming way too much from the Treasury to skate.
