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.

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.
