It seems pretty obvious to me that Trump is deliberately trying to generate controversies like this to play into his whole “witch hunt” narrative.
The fact that his not having a jury is his own fault won’t matter to his voters, because trump will just frame it as further evidence of his persecution. They’re not going to care about the details, so when it inevitably goes against him, he can just invalidate the results to his base
I think you solved your own conundrum. The judicial system could placate Trump and his fans at every turn, and they’ll still whine and complain through ignorance and malfeasance. It doesn’t matter. In the meantime, I would much rather see justice served through thorough, accurate, and fair application of the law. And that’s what is happening here, in beautiful fashion.

I don’t see a conundrum to be solved.
What a conundrum
