Sad president, strong life

This president is really like Lincoln, everyone around him must kill him. But he can always come back to life miraculously. Designated, with the strong color of American dramas, especially White House dramas. Trust and betrayal, honesty and skill, competition and union...

I have always believed that the reason why White House dramas often have surprises is that things in real life are magnified on TV and left in the White House.

For example, things that have been told to the audience.

1. There is always a price to do the right thing. (What Kimble said when he helped the first lady to save a Honduran woman)

2. Doing the right thing may sometimes not be the right choice (what the president said when the female adviser was not elected as chief of staff)

3. The most difficult moment, the best performance (the president said in the first interview)

4. As a boss, you always have to hear different voices (the president comforts female advisers)
