That statement wasn't political, and it has everything to do with the topic being discussed.
It wasn't political because Trump's "style" is a fact recognized by partisans on both sides; they just judge it differently. I can't even tell if OP is for or against.
It has to do with the topic because it's an observation of the same underlying trend: that lying is becoming a standard and accepted behavior in America. People are no longer punished for lying, so they are doing it more and more.
