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.
