It's not about what's legal or illegal. It's about what is right and moral and indicative of character. So he starts his political career with a clever font hack, a little fib to his potential voters. Apparently not worth an iota of concern. So what's the next fib? Perhaps a broken election promise that he never intended to keep, just playing the numbers game? And so it may continue. We always complain about our politicians looking after their own interests first. If we just shrug when they start their career like this, treating the electorate as a group to be tricked and fooled into action, is it any wonder?

Have you ever gotten a political party "survey." You get this large packet, very expensive feeling, with a "serial number" on it so it looks custom for you. You go through the survey questions, and they are all right down the middle of how you feel about the country. "Yeah! I want us to ____!" You get hyped up knowing that the party will really deliver (this time). And then you get to the end and it's got a donation form to give to the party, so that they can do everything you filled out in the survey. Probably very effective for many party members who don't think about it deeply. Now, does that sort of campaign marketing material present a moral problem? I think it's just good marketing. We could make a broader point about how all marketing wants you to envision yourself with [product / experience / political leader] and how that will make your life better. Is it all lies? Mostly. Is it immoral? Nah, it's just marketing :-)
