It’s sad to know I live in a country in which this could plausibly happen and even needs to be tested, but there you are. Writer Sara Benincasa is offering $300 of her own money to any journalist who asks Trump during a press conference a serious question about Wakanda. You know, where Black Panther is from.
I am offering $300 to the journalist who very seriously asks Trump his opinion on our nation’s relations with Wakanda and gets the question and answer recorded live on video. I know $300 doesn’t sound like a lot to some people but I also know what most reporters make so…$300.

The folks over at The Root are loving this, and propose some questions:
- Will the U.S. investigate Hillary Clinton’s alleged vibranium deal with Wakanda?
- Will the White House be hosting King Jaffe Joffer this year? Does he plan to attend the royal wedding of Prince Akeem and Princess Lisa?
- Is the president concerned about Wakanda’s condemnation of his recent immigration comments?
- How does the President feel about the resettlement of Pride Rock?
What would you ask Trump about U.S. relations with Wakanda?
