Maybe self impalement? There are more than a couple of folks here who have taken that extra step.
Con man runs con while running con.
Ok, there's the entire Trump "campaign".
The hilarious part are the people laughing it up while themselves getting conned by Trump.
There is nothing more hilarious than watching people punching themselves in the face.
If you were on fire, Trump wouldn't piss on you to put it out. It's tragic how many people think he gives a shit about the average American. All you are to him is a rube that can buy his schlock and subsidize his bankruptcies with your tax money.

Kinda like how much bill cared about laureate students fucked over by shitty schools that are too expensive and high government student loan default rates.He fucked over enough average Americans, small businesses, renters and then of course the students of his scam university. That he is a con IS A FACT, unless all those people who got stiffed and in some cases lost $100,000s and their entire business because of him would be lying.
Means: To know whether Trump is a con we don't even need to see his tax returns.
He cares not in the slightest for "the average American", this is merely lie #17722 by him in his string of endless lies.
Mud slinging goes both ways.
The thing is, like many other Bullshit artists, the sheer volume of Trump's lies and spew have effectively rendered him immune to criticism. There is simply too much utter bullshit flowing at high volumes out of his mouth.
Just like his claim of his that the Ford Motor Company was eliminating ALL of their jobs in the USA:
Of course, this is utter Bullshit. Completely false. But this does not matter to a bullshit artist. He does not care. He'll tell a different story to a different audience on a different day. Of course, a group of voters LOVE the bullshit artist. They think it's great. Wonderful. Some have even said that they know it's bullshit. They know it's not true. But they like him because he is telling them what they want to hear - comforting lies, with comforting easy, simple solutions.

Or how about all of thosr governments that treat gays, women, and minorities like shit, and they accepted money from them.

18.5mm. That and millions to the foundations.Did Bill ever profit personally from the existence of for-profit private scam colleges? Plus, the effects of tuition inflation were still relatively minor by the time he left office.

Fair enough, I actually never heard of this Laureate International. From what I can find, yeah, Bill's role looks only marginally less shady at best.
Less shady? He was a spokesperson who got paid for his influence. Trump created a "school" to bilk people out of their money. The degree of difference is huge!
A spokesperson using his clout to legitimize a scam. And of course, Trump University's scam was built entirely on Trump's own clout to begin with. Bill Clinton obviously wasn't nearly as prominent a factor being that I never heard of him or this fake school (which apparently is currently bilking a lot more people than Trump U did before its collapse), but $18 million in his pocket is a massive sum. According to Wikipedia, it looks like the high-ish estimate for Trump U's total scam was 5000 victims x $35000 a pop, for a total of $175,000,000. The class action lawsuits are actually a bit less. That's almost an order of magnitude more than what Bill put into his pockets, but if we consider that not every dollar went straight into Trump's pockets, I wouldn't be surprised if the total comes out pretty close.
While for profit schools are definitely a scam they are nowhere close to the out and out fraud that Trump University was.
For profit schools give shitty credentials at predatory prices, but credentials nonetheless. Trump University was simply a total lie from beginning to end. There's a reason Trump is facing numerous lawsuits over his scam and for profit universities aren't.

As far as I can tell, this particular for-profit school isn't even accredited in any meaningful way. Bad credentials are hardly better than no credentials, and while I acknowledge that Trump U has much worse allegations behind it (like the 98% student approval rating via strong-arming thing), it more just tells me that Trump is a medium-grade con artist that folded early. From a purely practical standpoint, I can obviously understand why someone would prefer another Clinton over Trump in the White House, since Trump isn't even that great at what he does. From the perspective of potential damages to society on the whole? Apparently this Laureate has a multi-billion dollar debt and many students unlikely to pay back their loans, and I'm not looking forward to when the for-profit college bubble finally pops.
Whether or not this particular diploma mill was an intended scam from the start, Bill started shilling for them at a time when this kind of thing was already infamous. If this was him speaking to support a friend that later turned fraudulent it would be one thing (rich and powerful people naturally have leeches clinging to them), but from what I can tell this was just an easy buck. I've literally got an uncle who used to sell sub-prime mortgages, then went into the time-share vacation business when the housing bubble popped, and is currently a "professor" at a scam college. Every time we hear about his new source of employment we immediately smell bullshit, and I can't imagine that a guy that's actually smart like Bill Clinton walks into an offer like this and thinks it's totally legit.
Granted, Hillary is not Bill while Trump is Trump, so that's the most compelling difference wrt the election between the two to me.
lol - what are the default rates on the school's loans? I thought the 2-year CDR was somewhere around 30%. That's not event looking at Defer/Forbear/IBR and delinquency. So, all told, Laureate schools might cost US taxpayers ~50% of principal balance. So US taxpayers footed at least $9.25mm of Billy's paycheck through defaulted loans. Then let's get to the State Department "grants". How much more did they shuffle through there after Billy became "honorary chancellor"?
I mean, really, you wanna peddle this bullshit?
The Clintons’ Laureate connection emerged as a campaign issue earlier this summer, when Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump charged that Hillary Clinton “laundered money” to her husband by funneling tens of millions of dollars in federal grants to Laureate while she was secretary of state.
By all accounts, Trump’s claim was false, and his campaign did not respond to requests for documentation.
The company says its campuses have received about $1.4 million total over the years in grants from the State Department and its international aid arm, USAID. Of that amount, only $15,000 came while Clinton was secretary of state — student scholarships funded by USAID, Laureate said.
Publicly available grant records are not detailed enough to corroborate Laureate’s exact numbers. But the records do show that neither Laureate nor any of its campuses has received any individual grants larger than $25,000 from the State Department or USAID.
Trump appeared to be drawing on — and misrepresenting — a report in the 2015 book “Clinton Cash” that grants from USAID to a separate charity chaired by Becker, the Laureate founder, increased during the Clinton years.
What's up little trump fluffer? I see you are still gobbling a cock of lies and spewing them out like a good little fluffer.
You should go back to your hole, you have only been back for a day and you are already stinking up the place with your bullshit.

Awe, poor baby. You think there is a diff between the "charity" and the school? lol - pay for play bitches.
The house of cards is falling down. I almost feel a little bad for you.
Interesting because hillarys history says you are full of shit.
Just because your cult leader lies doesn't mean you have to.
