In the 1970s, Bill Cosby (at the time, still beloved) came up with a TV show called Fat Albert. Basically it was morality tales that were told through cartoons, using Cosby's own childhood and a fanciful view of his friends as reference points.
There was a character called Dumb Donald, who was basically a nitwit. He's got on a too-big jersey and has a stocking covering his face. He's a good kid, and means well in the story, but he comes across as a bit of a dope.

In one episode he tells fanciful lies.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but the soon-to-be idiot in chief reminds me of Dumb Donald in many ways...
