    Well, what’s the point of lying? His statement probably influences far more votes than his individual vote.

    I see no point in lying. If anything, he’d be motivated to decline to comment or lie to say he’s voting for Trump to avoid backlash from the fanatic MAGA base

      Whatever his next career move is, he may feel that appealing to the moderates and swing voters is more beneficial to him than just being one of the growing sea of people willing to suck up to the MAGA base.
