President Donald Trump tonight sent out a tweet congratulating the Kansas City Chiefs on their Super Bowl victory, as well as the state of Kansas itself.
Only one problem: the Chiefs are based in Kansas City, Missouri.
The tweet has since been taken down and replaced with one congratulating the correct state:
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!

Well, the team plays in Kansas City, Missouri. Which is the larger, far more populous of the Kansas cities, but okay. pic.twitter.com/LCcjOJHpgY

And, not to be outdone, Never Trump conservative Rick Wilson, who was pilloried last week for mocking Trump supporters’ supposed lack of geography knowledge, took a bit of a victory lap after Trump’s mistake.
