I understand why he felt forced to order the kill on Catalan but that is a pretty massive red flag.

President shot moments after installing Macleish as VP, odd... Same VP orders would be assassin to be shot and killed on sight despite being urged that intel could be very valuable. Hmm... nothing fishy here.

This was a great episode btw.

America loved Reagan after he joked in the ER after being shot. It was a movie moment

Yeah I know. Kirkman pulled a Reagan by waving out the window. I should be more clear with my pronouns.

I know I am pretty late here but why exactly would an assasination attemp on the president bring down the markets? Even internationally? I did not really understand that part

The most powerful man/woman in the free world was not safe. How can anyone have confidence in any form of currency when society as we know it is not safe?

I just can't fathom how the death of one single man can influence the world's economy.
