Unpopular opinion, but I kinda hope he does. Not because she deserves it.
The maga base is in equal parts revolt, denial, and uncertainty due to this unforced error by Trump saying the list doesn't exist. At least enough that many will start pretending they weren't magas. Its hard to say who the heir of the movement will be, but its clear they will need one. A Maxwell pardon will could be the unrecoverable nail the movement needs to be unappealing to possible heirs. No one else in the GOP has the charisma or branding to start over and with the maga brand having even more of a bad taste could give progressive candidates an opening.
He'll do it, but not until after the 2028 election.
