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.

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?

That’s it from us! What have you seen out there on the wide Internet?
