If my understanding of Trump is correct, I believe he 100% would pardon someone for doing some illegal act in his name, so long as it’s not against one of his allies or maybe even against anyone in the ruling class.
He doesn’t give a shit about the person themselves, but he cares about his image and “looking strong”. He is playing into the aesthetics of fascism, while not really understanding what fascism is (e.g. interlinked with capitalism)
