Zamunda from Coming to America was also mentioned.
Given the fact that Donald Trump’s two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart, we’re curious to see what his movie knowledge is like.
Granted, he’s already starred in Home Alone 2, Zoolander, Sex and the City and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, so he must be decent, but we’re interested to see if he’s up to date with the MCU and iconic ’80s comedies. It appears that we’re not the only ones.
Fresh from those alleged ‘shithole’ remarks and the fallout, people have been curious about the US president’s geopolitical acumen and they’ve decided to test it in the best way possible.
With Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther about to be unleashed on the world, a writer by the name of Sara Benincasa has offered anyone $300 if they ask Trump a question about Wakanda.
Of course, you may already know that Wakanda is the fictional country that’s home to T’Challa – the Black Panther. In the world of comic-books, Wakanda is also the world’s most technologically advanced country.
Ok, while the idea that the most powerful man in the world might be duped into talking about a fictional country seems absurd, Trump has shown that he has a history of inventing fictional African countries.
Nambia, anyone? Anyone?

After this campaign began to gather some online traction, other people started weighing in on US relations with fictional African countries.
In Coming to America, King Jaffe Joffer was a fearsome presence but he was also well respected – remember those rose bearers that threw petals at his feet?
Is anyone else wondering what a meeting between these two men might entail?
I love @SaraJBenincasa 's idea. I'd love to get Trump's opinion on countries like Wakanda & Zamunda.
Does he have a good relationship with king Jaffe Joffer?
Who is the ambassador to Wakanda?
Do we have an embassy there?
Does Trump even know?
These questions keep me up at night.— MVP (@The305MVP) January 14, 2018
