That's because it was a response to some anon's post - being the lighter shade
My theory, is since Hildawg was supposed to win, the Snowden movie, he was probably given this job to do, promised great rewards and eventually be brought home and lauded a hero. Buuuuut, Hildawg didn't win, so he get's the consolation prize of living on the run.
I could be wrong, but the movie premiered Sept. 2016 right before the election, which in turn could make room for a future pardon from Hildawg. Plausible to me, but again could be wrong.
