Ruth Bader Ginsburg served on the United States Supreme Court from 1993 until her death in September 2020, during Donald Trump's presidency. Her passing immediately became a major political moment because it opened a Supreme Court seat weeks before the presidential election, and Trump later nominated Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy. Short clips of Trump's public remarks about Ginsburg were widely shared on social media at the time and have since been reused as a reaction sound in political edits, news memes and commentary videos.
