Should President Biden Pardon Trump?

I'm no aware of any discussion on this previously but if so, please merge.

Ford pardoningt NIxon allowed the country to move forward. We got our pound of flesh in Nixon resigning even without being convicted but we all know he would have been. It's the same for Trump. Seeing, especially, the superceding indictment, Trump can easily be convicted if an impartial jury can be empaneled

But what would that do to the country? Every confederate flag waver will grab his gun. Every Dem will sit back smirking (I know I will be). It won't bring closure to anyone and we'll be more divided than before.

HOWEVER, what if Biden were to then pardon? Terms such as "never hold public office" and accepting a pardon means an implicit acknowledgement of guilt. I foresee it as the Trump team having to reach out to the current admin to feel it out, lawyers would hammer out details, Trump pleads guilty to avoid the trial, Biden issues the pardon.

There's one big, orange sticking point though.

So, should Biden pardon Trump?
