As long as "incessantly" lying translate to victory, who cares? Will others ramp

..their lies incessantly too?? 

Trump lied incessantly and still won. Should others do the same?

Donald Trump said violent crime was exploding across the U.S.

It wasn't.

He said Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were "eating the dogs. They're eating the cats."

They weren't.

He said the Federal Emergency Management Agency diverted disaster relief money to fund benefits for people in the country illegally.

It hadn't.

Trump lied incessantly and extravagantly in his bumptious bid for president, after racking up more than 30,500 false or misleading statements during four years in the White House, according to fact-checkers at the Washington Post.

Trump won anyway. Some voters might even have backed him because of his relentless falsehoods.

Which raises several questions.

Is honesty, as in telling the truth, no longer a requirement for seeking and holding public office? Has veracity become one of those quaint relics of a bygone era, like straw boaters and torchlight parades? Should candidates of any and every persuasion feel free to emulate Trump and lie their heads off?
