Episode 2

By discovering editorial articles in the school newspaper, Frank became acutely aware of the political opportunities they contained.He used the inappropriate remarks about Israel in the article to construct a situation that seemed to oppose the US-Israel alliance, thus pointing the finger at the then editor-in-chief Cohen.This strategy not only demonstrated Frank's keen political sense, but also revealed his deep understanding of how to use the media and public opinion to his own benefit.

Frank is asked to clean up Donald's mess in Chief of Staff Linda's office.This incident became an opportunity for Frank to fight back.He took this opportunity to demonstrate his ability and value to President Garrett and further consolidated his position in the White House by recommending six of the smartest people in education to prepare an education reform plan.

Frank's attacks on Cohen also intensified.He approached Zoe and used the editorial article to question Cohen.Cohen's embarrassing performance in the television interview further deepened the negative impression of him by the media and the public.Subsequently, the media made a big fuss about Cohen's ridicule of US-Israel relations, and even labeled him as an anti-Semitic racist.This series of attacks has seriously damaged Cohen's image.

However, Frank didn't stop there.He then found Roy, the editor who worked with Cohen, a drug addict.With Peter's help, he succeeded in persuading Roy to publicly claim that the editorial was written by Michael Cohen.The move completely destroyed Cohen's credibility and career, bringing him into public disrepute.
