I don’t see how this could come as a suprise to anyone as it was common knowledge of you follow this stuff that they failed to request a jury. I think hearing it in court would be like “ok, it’s official”.
There’s really no way out for Trump in this one, now, from what I understand.
I’m guessing his lawyers did not tell him what happened, were playing dumb, and are hoping he’s too clueless to realize it’s their fault he can’t even hope for a lone, contrarian jury member to get him out of this.
My favorite part was when the camera panned from sad trump and stunned lawyers to the prosecution just trying not to laugh and cheer.
