    Is there an advantage is not requesting a jury for Drumps side?

      Not even remotely. Since there’s no jury, only the judge will be deciding - and this is the judge that Trump has been publicly talking shit about for months. Presumably, he only did that because he thought the case would be in the hands of a jury anyway, so it didn’t matter as much if he antagonized the judge. Whoops.

      For him, it’s the worst possible scenario. For us, it’s highly amusing!

        You’re giving him too much credit. When analyzing his behavior, it always helps to think like a first grader. The judge was mean to him, so he’s being meaner back. It’s as simple as that.

          I think this is likely no useful at best. For the average person, who cares, but anyone who actually wants to be predictive or cautious, it’s probably harmful. I think it’s much more likely that this is a political tool because he knows he lost already. He convinces how bad the judge is to people and then leaves the decision to the judge, which if you believe they’re incompetent then that decision is now in question. He needs the presidency to save himself, not to convince people of stuff that obviously not true.

          Yea I too like to infantilize people I dislike, this makes me feel super smug and superior. Wait what do you mean the stupid poopy head became president?

          The dumbest thing you can do is underestimate your enemies.

            The answer is that about 25 to 30 percent of the population just want to see the world burn, and Trump satisfied that urge.

            That doesn’t make known fraudster and rapist Trump a smart man.

            It just makes him a successful demagogue.

        As I recently learned, you can’t appeal on the basis of ineffective counsel in a civil case. Which this one is. That rationale for appeal is for criminal cases only.

        So if he planned to do that here, well… it’s not going to work out so well for him.

        Seems like I’ve already read of several cases that went against him under judges he appointed. At this point I’m not even sure if the chuckleheads in the supreme court could be swayed in his favor. Considering how certain he is that everybody loves him, it’s not surprising that he thinks there’s only a very small minority of people on a witchhunt to get him. His ego couldn’t handle learning that millions of people would happily drop him on his ass if they saw him in the street.

      If Trump appointed the judge or can otherwise influence them yes.
