The idea of Donald J. Trump pardoning himself, however, is not a constitutionally supported idea. But we should know by now that such a thing rarely stops him.

He knows he will have no protection from legal prosecution of his crimes.
Rump has two (2) ways out of that...
1. stage a coup
2. resign before January 20, 2021... let Mike Pence become President... then Mike pardons his old boss... worked for Tricky Dick and Gerry

I'd strongly recommend against (1).
And even
Mike is more honorable than to pull a Gerry Ford.
