Don't you need to be personally harmed to bring a suit? Who's personally harmed by Trump writing himself a pardon? The prosecutor's ego?

It is of course a stupid and useless action since clearly being a crime guy didn't stop him from assuming the presidency, and pardoning himself will just get the hogs baying in approval, so idk

It would be litigated when/if a prosecutor tried to bring charges against Trump for conduct that was self-pardoned
