(6,565 posts)Why would you resign a position and cite MENTAL HEALTH reasons for the departure?? Would *you* do that??
Why would you open the door to having your head examined by those watching what you do?
He must have been told something, by someone...oh well, we are living in an alternate universe, anyway...

I'm reading an intimation about ulterior motives or something nefarious.

(2,227 posts)Now the turd humpers are thinking about it in much realer terms than just some "out there" rightwing conspiracy.
It will now percolate, stew. I would imagine the hope would be that when the turd loses, bigly, this simmering will come to a boil, and action will be taken by the goons who WANT to believe it. All the turd has left to fall back on is FEAR.
Yet more Putin chaos.

(6,565 posts)that Trump is crazy, and this guy has had enough. But, he doesn't have the guts to flip, so he is saying, in the only loyal-to-the-GOP way he can, that he has had enough of the chaos.
Also, he is jumping ship. But, you don't leave a job like this. This could be that he got fired, and this is his flying finger as he exits.
But, read this: https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2020/09/caputo-mental-health-has-definitely-failed/
This is the guy who was involved in the CDC report fixing, and the one who warned of post election violence by Trump. What better way to explain that stuff except to say that the guy is crazy?
Most people recognize when they are stressed, but some of this stuff is over the top, and very alarming.
But, gosh, I don't know! Anything Trump touches fails. That's what I have seen.
