President Trump’s trade war got more—or less—surreal this week when it was discovered the Trump administration listed Wakanda as a free trade partner on a tool created by the Department of Agriculture to track tariffs on nations signed on to a free trade agreement. Wakanda, of course, is not a real country but a fictional one in the Marvel Universe and its 2018 movie Black Panther. The made up East African kingdom was listed along with 10 real trade partners from the Americas and South Korea.

6. I'm envisioning a movie in which a racist, chicken-shit Trump appointee finds himself

on a movie set - in Wakanda - surrounded by brilliant and courageous people.

Comedy, tragedy, farce... so many possibilities.
