While President Trump was giving the devastating news of the passing, you could hear a sudden outburst of cheering, laughter, and clapping in the back of their office. 

Many are speculating that the cheering was because of the news that Donald Trump was delivering of Charlie's passing.

TMZ's apology

The company later posted on their official Facebook page that the employees in the back office were allegedly cheering and clapping while watching a car chase. I honestly don't think I've ever clapped and cheered while watching a car chase. But they are stating that the cheering and the Kirk incident were unrelated.
