Probably cause he was Obama and he was just gonna be their golden retriever willingly anyway. Also the CIA or Mossad or whatever doesnt control who gets elected, they create the conditions that anyone who would ever get to that point is safe to them. They arent the Patriots from Metal Gear. They have their fingers in many sinister soups but they’re also bunglers to a cartoonish level and while they do influence things it’s usually in how they tend to turn every situation they involve themselves in into a chaotic quagmire.

That or Obama gave up when he found out he couldn’t do pedophilia via drone strike.
