If Trump isn’t going to pardon himself because he won’t need to pardon himself, why say he could in the first place?

It's Trump being Trump, he's a player and he is using twitter as a tool, to play others with and it's working. He's clearly pissed off with the never ending "Witch Hunt" and to coin his phrase the "Fake News Media".
BREAKING: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell cancels Senate's August recess due to "the historic obstruction by Senate Democrats of the president’s nominees, and the goal of passing appropriations bills prior to the end of the fiscal year."

1) Noone is above the law including the King/Queen.
2) Right to fair trial
3) People have the right to representation, i.e in Parliament.
That said however, should the Queen go out and commit a crime today, she would not be arrested, but she could be forced out by an act of Parliament... She could turn up in person though while they are sitting in the Commons and attempt to dissolve parliament and attempt to take control of the country.
The last monarch to do this was King Charles I. The result was a civil war between Parliament and the Crown, he was tried and sentenced to death for treason against the people of England and beheaded in January 1649. What an era to be alive in back then.
