In my experience, liars are most successful when they believe their own lies. With enough motivation, fooling oneself is not difficult.

Disagree.

As an example, I offer that Trump himself has boasted about his Huge lies being his most effective.

Understand your point Daniel, but, Trump is not a typical liar, he’s psychopath and megalomaniac. Con men are fortunately outliers. As a lifelong observer of human behavior, I still think most liars are self deluded.

Yes they do delude themselves, BUT THEY KNOW THEY ARE LYING.

That is why they can't stop.
