I'm going to speculate and say no, because it would be a similar posture to trying to perform a self-pardon. Also for clemency to be effective, Trump would have to have been convicted and sentenced for specific federal charges. This scenario has not happened since he can't be indicted while being President nor did he face any convictions before assuming the presidency.
