Those jackals in the press room, spewing their vile, venomous screed at Tony everyday no doubt contributed to his stress, and therefore, this recurrence.

With all due respect, he had to know what he would be getting himself into when he was offered the job, and he took it anyway.

I am sure Tony knew what he was getting into. But, I also think he had/has a strong desire for public service and wanted to contribute something of himself to that end.
