Well if we're being honest, his ties to Israel and the unlimited shabbos goying for 4 years straight should probably be a pretty good indicator of the way things really were. That being said I also choose to believe that he didn't enter the white house in 2016 as controlled opposition, but between the System getting to him somehow and the ineptitude resulting from his boomerism, he definitely left it as such. Either way, he got what he deserved when benjamin netanyahu was the first world leader to call and congratulate biden for "winning".
