No, I think he'd have sprung him anyway, because:

  1. Evangelicals want him released
  2. Evangelicals are an important foundation of his base and his most reliable enablers

Asking who he voted for was just part of his general strategy of wanting attention and publicity. It's also a dog whistle that says to evangelicals, if you vote for me, I'll to stuff like this for you.

Pay to play politics.

Shameless pandering.

This was well timed for the religious nut jobs right before mid terms... make no mistake.

Recently released pastor puts his hand on Trump's shoulder, invoking his deity and asking that Trump be "filled with wisdom." Cameras quickly cut away just before the President's head explodes ...

NPR's Peter Kenyon:

"President Trump and his team have been tenacious in seeking the release of Pastor Brunson," Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Brunson, said in a statement. "We're grateful to the President, members of Congress and diplomatic leaders who continued to put pressure on Turkey to secure the freedom of Pastor Brunson. The fact that he is preparing to return to the United States can only be viewed as a significant victory for Pastor Brunson and his family."

Trump is aware of the religious kudos associated with Brunson's release.
