President Donald Trump picked the wrong moment to f*ck up the location of a major American city on Sunday night when he congratulated the Kansas City Chiefs on their Super Bowl victory, resulting in national mockery.
The Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV, and this congratulatory tweet is what you will currently see on Trump’s Twitter feed.
Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on a great game and a fantastic comeback under immense pressure. We are proud of you and the Great State of Missouri. You are true Champions!

However, that’s not what he originally wrote as he had mistakenly congratulated the state of Kansas first. Thanks to screenshots of the royal screw-up, the Internet is forever.
Trump’s unforced error is especially hypocritical since Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently blew up at a reporter for schooling him on where Ukraine is located on a map. And Americans had no problem mocking him into oblivion for it.
I hope the Trump voters in both Kansas and Missouri have a little clearer picture now of how much Trump doesn’t give a shit about them.
If Barack Obama had made that mistake, they’d have impeached him out of sheer hurt feelings.— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) February 3, 2020
Trump is going to release a map tomorrow with Kansas City in Kansas isn’t he?

This tweet comes amid an ongoing news cycle where Trump’s Secretary of State — who is very prominently from Kansas — claimed a reporter couldn’t find something on a map pic.twitter.com/0ipt6MCaWi

This was deleted quickly (no doubt after someone pointed out that Kansas City is in Missouri) but really is such a perfect illustration of Trump’s utter and shameful ignorance. A total fucking moron. pic.twitter.com/9GCPEq7Pym

Tomorrow: Trump waves around a map in Oval Office showing that Kansas City is, in fact, in Kansas. pic.twitter.com/e5jb6R7RHf

Trump cares so much about Kansas and Missouri that he can’t bother to figure out where Kansas City is.

Some pundit is going to say I can’t call Trump dumb for thinking Kansas City is in Kansas. They will say “that’s how Trump won.”
But i just refuse to believe my fellow Americans are that dumb.

Can’t believe the Deep State put Kansas City in MISSOURI just to embarrass Trump.

George Conway even commented by adding this latest bout of stupidity to a thread he recently wrote up demonstrating Trump’s geography fails.
He is just soooooooo stupid. https://t.co/IyD7GyklIZ

And now we have this for the Trump geography thread: https://t.co/IyD7GyklIZ

Missouri and Kansas should feel insulted. After all, both states voted for Trump in 2016. The least he can do is identify them correctly.
