Being president is a great thing, and the price is loneliness.
The so-called "cold in the heights" may mean this.
The President of the United States, basically one of the most powerful people in the world, is at the top of the six-billion-person pyramid of the world. Standing at such a high place, looking at the scenery is very beautiful, and other people can't appreciate it at all.
But the heights are unstable, the wind is strong, the cold is cold, lonely, and I don't know how many people want you to fall off the top.
Apparently Frank understood this long ago, and being president meant abandoning everything, even the people closest to him.
But President Walker clearly didn't understand this, and there was no way between the choice between the nation and his wife.
Presidents obsessed with history are obsessed with their place in history, not obsessed with how to make history.
Frank's meaning is obvious: President Walker, you are a mediocre president.
I Frank will replace you sooner or later, and what I'm going to do is make history.
Do you know what I like most about money? It can be measured.
The world and this society are disorderly, and everyone and every organization has their own ideas and depends on other people and organizations.
People try to measure themselves, measure others, measure everything in all sorts of things.
But there is no such thing as an absolute fairness and impartiality that can measure everything.
There is only one thing that is infinitely close to this goal, and that is money.
Money basically measures everything in the world!
Don't try to contradict me, when you understand the importance of money, you will be able to realize that money is "omnipotent".
Don't say that money can't buy love, friendship, and affection, and without money, these three things are also out of reach.
The White House is only temporary, and marriage is a lifetime.
To say that President Walker's wife, Teresa, is also simple, this kind of statement will also be believed.
Neither Walker nor his wife adjusted their mindset accordingly to their position.
This group of people, every step up, there will be a new increase in what they have, and correspondingly, they must throw away more things.
For example: feelings, sympathy and so on.
When I care about your respect, I'll tell you.
The Indian chief was probably the first person in the series to scold Frank directly in the face.
