Feel free to add answers. Everything resolves N/A if he loses the 2024 presidential election.
It resolves yes if he attempts to pardon himself.
(Turns out I cannot update the language in the question, nor delete the second comment that I posted accidentally. Sorry!)
It is legally possible for Trump to pardon himself for federal convictions if elected president.
However, he could not pardon his 34 state felony convictions. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/31/nyregion/donald-trump-pardon-himself.html#:~:text=Trump%20were%20to%20be%20elected,record%20in%20New%20York%20State.
@AndrewEdstrom No, it is not possible for someone to pardon themselves, of any conviction, under any jurisdiction.
The current opinion of the Office of Legal Counsel is that one cannot pardon oneself. However, this has never been tested in court and as such is up for debate. https://www.justice.gov/olc/opinion/presidential-or-legislative-pardon-president
@Snarflak an opinion by the Office of Legal Counsel is not legally binding. To solve the question it would have to go before the federal courts.
@SemioticRivalry But there is no such thing as a self-pardon. It's a paradox. Has there ever been a self-pardon in history?
@AlQuinn "Grant" means giving something to another person. You cannot grant a pardon to yourself.
No explicit exclusion of self-pardon was required because the universal understanding of what it meant to grant a pardon self-evidently excluded such a possibility.

That sounds like just the sort of distinction one might try to argue in front of a court...
I'm not even saying I disagree with the argument in your link (I'm agnostic). The point is clever lawyers could argue the opposite. Regarding the definition of words like "pardon", we just found out this week what a "machine gun" entails.
