Young Turk Wants To Bet Trump On College Grades
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Cenk Uygur — a 1992 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business — is throwing down the gauntlet to a man who has been known to boast about his degree from that institution.
In a segment posted by The Young Turks Wednesday, the progressive commentator challenged 1968 Wharton grad President Donald Trump to release his grades. And Uygur says he’s putting his money where his mouth is.
“If you have better grades than me, I’ll give you a million dollars,” Uygur said. “If I have better grades than you, you give me a million dollars. If you release [your high school and college transcripts, along with yours SAT scores], and you agree to this deal, we definitely have a bet.”
Uygur claims that if Trump takes him up on the offer, and he should win the challenge, he would bankrupt Uygur.
“Do I have a million dollars?” Uygur said. “No. You’ll bankrupt me and take everything I have … Go for it. Donald Trump, you know how ecstatic MAGA nation would be if you bankrupted me?”

This challenge serves as both a publicity stunt for The Young Turks brand as an example of how to shut Trump the fuck up on a topic.
There is video/audio of Donald Trump claiming to a campaign audience that he had the best grades of anyone in his class at Wharton. This is provably false. Reporters have looked at the Dean's List for Trump's years at Wharton and Trump's name is not on there.
No doubt Trump will not take Uygar's bet.
I wonder if he realizes that making a bet like this is Illegal.
I was thinking more along the lines of, shall we say juvenile.
It's a little late in the game to worry about juvenile behavior in America.
I think of it more like fighting fire with fire anyway.
Let us hope not, that is unless one actually happens to be a juvenile.
So you are now saying that because they did it first we can do it now? Interesting....
"The Young Turks" - " Overall, we rate The Young Turks Left Biased based on story selection that always favors the progressive left and Mixed for factual reporting due to promotion of pseudoscience in regards to GMO’s. "
Doesn't meet the criteria as a source John - you know better than that.
It's not being used as a "source", it's a mere statement of where Cenk works.
You don't seem to know what the word source means here.
Wally,
the source is mediaite
the topic is a bet by Cenk to Donald.

Wally is one of a few, on these boards, that seem to have troubles understanding simple English words at times.
“If you have better grades than me, I’ll give you a million dollars,” Uygur said."

( I would even challenge that Mediaite is that much to the left, but since MBFC is the Newstalkers bible we have to go with that)
Well, you struck out again 1st warrior.
Everytime we discuss something about Trump the same funny thing happens. The Trumpsters dont address the meat of the story, they discuss personalities.Notice that not one of the Trump supporters responding to this seed so far thinks there is any hope that Trump would win the bet.

Was this satire or is he just that dumb?
He's selling. Himself and his show. Doesn't matter if he won or lost, it's the same amount of attention to a growing news show.
I'm sure if he read this page, he'd be laughing the loudest.
Yeah, I guess there's no such thing as bad publicity.
