This meme originated from a viral video recorded in September 2020, capturing then-President Donald Trump's reaction to the news of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death immediately following a campaign rally. As Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer' played loudly in the background, Trump delivered a somber, measured response, stating, 'Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time.' The clip became an instant sensation due to the surreal atmosphere and Trump's specific cadence. Today, the template is used across social media to react to information that is either genuinely shocking or, more frequently, something that was incredibly obvious to everyone else already.
