I honestly don't think he can.
If what we're seeing now is true and Mueller has enough to know that Manafort was lying
without needing him, then that means he's already got Don Jr, Eric and probably Ivanka dead to rights. Trump can't pardon his kids without continuing to erode his already eroding base and the midterms showed us, his base won't be enough to carry 2020 in the Presidential race nor the much friendlier Senate.
Literally the same number of people turned out to vote for Democratic candidates in the midterms as turned out to vote for Hillary in 2016. That has never happened in the history of the Republic. Trump is already in deep **** in 2020 and going full on mob boss to save his family from the noose is just going to end up kicking the chair out from under himself.
Plus, even if you think he just says "**** it" since he never really wanted the job anyway, is fine leaving after one term, playing the victim, and starting TrumpTV or whatever, remember that a lot of these crimes that are being unearthed are going to have opposites (or even totally new crimes) on the state level, and those he's powerless to pardon. Mueller is going to **** his world and anyone close to him's world up.
