Politico's sad "abnormal normality" piece on Trump actually acting like an adult.
Trump handles Bush's death with abnormal normality
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/03/trump-response-bush-death-1041328
In short, the president is behaving normally — a jarring rarity for a man who casually shatters sacred political norms.
The source of Trump’s unusual restraint is unclear, particularly coming as it does during after November election gains by Democrats and new moves by Special Counsel Robert Mueller that have left him unusually volatile — and voluble — in recent weeks.
On Monday evening, Trump channeled a kinder, gentler version of his wrecking-ball spirit. He paid a surprise visit to the Capitol, where Bush’s casket is lying in state. A president who rarely passes up a chance to speak his mind offered nothing in the way of commentary but a silent salute. The White House’s official Instagram feed featured an image of the 41st president’s portrait, draped in black cloth.
Bush’s funeral will be held in Washington on Wednesday. Unlike McCain’s farewell, he has been invited to Bush’s — meaning there is still time for Trump to revert to character.

Now he gets praise for simply standing next to a casket for less than two minutes? WOW... a new high bar for the presidency.
He swayed and fidgeted the entire time. So... yeah...kudos for acting like an adult.
