I’m guessing Trump has destroyed the possibility he could resign so Pence can pardon him. After Trump threw him under the bus after trying to strongarm him into blowing up the certification process, I can’t imagine Pence would do him such a favour. Let’s not forget Trump endangered Pence’s physical safety too.
If Pence were to pardon Trump, he’d commit political suicide. Ford guaranteed he’d lose the 1976 election by pardoning Nixon.
Trump will have to pardon himself and it’s an open question whether such a self-pardon would be valid.
