It’s no secret that Donald Trump isn’t a gifted geographer. Even when he knows where somewhere is, he’s ignorant about the people who live there (cc: Trump’s recent shithole comments). One writer is taking advantage of Trump’s ignorance by challenging journalists to question Donald Trump about Wakanda, the fictional country in Marvel’s Black Panther. She’s offering $300 to any journalist up for the task.
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.

Sara Benincasa, the writer offering up the reward, provided a few stipulations for taking on the job. To receive the reward “you must be a journalist who gets both the question and the answer on video.” Benincasa decided to name her challenge #wakandagate. “This is your Frost/Nixon moment my babies,” she encourages.
