Should Trump be Prosecuted?

Note that the potential Trump crimes being pursued in New York are largely financial crimes, and those are often prosecuted as civil rather than criminal cases. So none of the discussions about pardons at any level applies there.

Also, it may not be important if New York can extract Trump from Florida. It’s possible that civil cases may be brought against Trump’s companies or Trump’s properties located in NY, rather than against Trump himself. And the outcome of such cases may be that the state impounds Trump’s properties. They may not need to have Trump around in person for any of that.

Trump may flee to Florida. But he can’t take Trump Tower with him.
