You can but it might back fire.

You can for now, it’s still Trump season. No more lies from January 21st though

They might tell you they can’t match that and you should go take it.

Lying is never a good plan A.

you certainly can but don’t think lying is a good idea

Sure you can - if low integrity is acceptable to you, you can say pretty much anything . Just be prepared if it backfires .
