I BRING YOU CHARLATANS AND LIARS and this piece by Friedman which begins with an explanation of how Trump fits in with today's GOP... "he identifies the ease with which career politicians look right into a camera and lie or embellish.

And so Trump has just taken the joke to the next level." (i.e. Trump touts his plan for universal health care, telling Scott Pelley, “I am going to take care of everybody.” And when Pelley asks how, Trump gives the greatest quote so far of the 2015 campaign:"The government’s gonna pay for it. But we’re going to save so much money on the other side."
