      As President, Trump can only pardon people for federal crimes, not state.

      If he wants to pardon people for Minnesota state crimes, he has to run to be governor of Minnesota, win, and he still can’t do pardons single-handedly then:

      https://mn.gov/crc/about-us/board-pardons.jsp

      The Minnesota Board of Pardons (Board), which consists of the Governor, the Minnesota Attorney General, and the Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, may grant a pardon or commutation to individuals who meet basic eligibility requirements set forth in state law. To receive a pardon or commutation, the Governor and at least one other Board member must vote in favor of clemency.

        There’s no law saying Trump can’t run for governor of all 50 states simultaneously. Oh, wait, there is? Well there’s no law saying Trump can’t break the law
