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.

Ha! You’re probably right!

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.
