It isn't red meat for his base as much as it is a signal to Flynn and Manafort to "hang tight as I have your back". Mueller is trying to flip both. Trump pardoning a political loyalist, don't think for a second Sheriff Joe was not a seriously bad person, is a sign to them to not flip on Trump. It will be controversial when he pardons one or both, but not enough that the balless GOP will do anything about it.
When the book of damage to the U.S. is written this will be a big chapter.
