Isn't there a court ruling that basically says that by accepting a pardon that they are admitting to the crime? That would invoke the 14th amendment and keep Trump from running for office.
I don't really think that he should be pardoned, but it would be a giant F U to him to force himself into not being able to run for office again.
There's also the line of thinking that pardoning Nixon created the environment in the U.S. where we in the US believe that charging leadership with crimes is something that only happens in "shithole countries" even though it happens all over the developed world, leading directly to Trump and "Pro-America" conservatives believing he can pretty much get away with anything.
