    Hitting just the right emotional note for the moment is, to put it mildly, not something Trump has often done. This time, he did. The music in the background really lent this whole thing a cinematic feel.https://twitter.com/YahooNews/status/1307127173644537857 …

    WATCH: Trump hears from a reporter that Justice Ginsburg has died. "She just died? Wow. I didn't know that, you're telling me now for the first time." "She led an amazing life. What else can you say? She was an amazing woman...I'm sad to hear that." pic.twitter.com/5Na3vHzP7f

        Of course, it says a lot about Donald Trump - and also about our political age - that it should be a surprise when a 74 year old man acts in a socially appropriate fashion when informed that a person has died.

        He managed to sustain this respectful approach for, oh, half a minute

        It was a post rally high for him. He hadn’t crashed back down yet so he appears oddly, normal. Almost.

        The music also helps to let you know that it wasn't spontaneous. He huddled with his people first, and almost certainly knew before this moment. The fact that he admits he didn't know something (he almost never does that) is another tell that it's a lie.

        Reporters on the hellsite have actually accused Trump of lying when he said he had not heard that RBG passed away.

        His body language suggests actual in the moment surprise. However, staff had to have been away she could go anytime, and coached him up with how to handle it over the past days and weeks. In a moment of a post rally high, he mostly stuck to the script.

        Dan. You’ve done some pretty silly contortions to make yourself feel better over past 4 years, but this is a new low even for you. Yes, he responded well, for him, on a big curve, & appeared genuinely surprised. It wasn’t earth shattering though. The music was also a distraction.

        Trump plays music before & after his events.... “the music is playing from the nearby stage”https://www.npr.org/sections/death-of-ruth-bader-ginsburg/2020/09/18/914666608/trump-reacts-to-justice-ginsburgs-amazing-life-on-tarmac-after-rally …

        This is inadvertently his best campaign ad I've seen so far.
