From your post:

Unlike other presidents who used their pardon power to correct injustices, Trump has used it almost exclusively to dole out favors to the right wing.

Exactly how would pardoning Martha Stewart and Rod Blagojevich, who are also rumored to be under consideration for pardons, be a "favor to the right wing"?

His rumored pardons are irrelevant for the moment. His pardons of Arpaio and D'Souza are unquestionably political trolling for wingnut support.
