We should develop a culture of concrete statements in politics. Not "Our healthcare will be so good, the entire world will envy us!", but, say, "By 2019, the average dental x-ray price in the US will drop by at least 40%, compared to 2016". This way we can actually hold politicians accountable for failing to deliver. While in the current culture, politicians make such outrageous promises that, were we to hold them accountable, every single politician would have to be fired on the spot - hence we do not. We expect a politician to lie, it is a given. This is no bueno, friends.

"Politicians are masters of making promises they cannot fulfill." MC
Trump is off the scale. I've never known any other person, let alone any other U.S. president that told such preposterous lies:
- I'm gunna build a wall, Mexico's gunna pay for it.
- "I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's gunna be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now." Candidate Trump 15/09/27 to CBS Scott Pelly
- "You're going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost." candidate Trump 16/10/25 from campaign podium
- “There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.” President Trump 2018, after his poorly prepared summit w/ NK/KJU  Considerate: 47%

Want some Trump lies on medicare cuts? Here's what I came up with under 5 minutes of research. Official tweets with links...
As a candidate during the 2015 GOP primary process, it was a theme he returned to. When former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee also stepped up with a promise to protect Social Security and Medicare, Trump claimed total ownership of the pro-entitlement position — vowing specifically to defend Medicaid as well.
Trump portrayed this issue as a key differentiator. Defending Medicaid was a central plank of his pitch for American greatness.
He even specifically referred to Ohio Gov. John Kasich as being excessively right-wing on the Medicaid issue.
Now, of course, Trump has lined up behind a Senate health care bill that features draconian cuts to Medicaid:
Can you deny him his own tweets?

I would not say Trump is off the scale. His statements are simply more blunt and direct, but in terms of the sheer amount of unfulfilled promises he is very mainstream.
Where he differs from the mainstream is his isolationist views. I had hoped that the US had left that mentality behind, back in the 19-th century, yet he is openly embracing it. But then, he is just one person, even if president, and he cannot change the historical course in this regard on his own. This assault on immigration and international trade will pass as soon as the throne in the White House becomes occupied by the next individual.
All in all though, he is a pretty standard slimy politician who gets around by flipping his stances whenever convenient. Everyone who thought that this "outsider" would somehow fix the issues plaguing politics did not understand the realities of that world. People who get things done do not survive there for long; people who play the crowd well do.
