USA Today reports:
The Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl on Sunday, thanks to a great fourth quarter comeback from MVP Patrick Mahomes. After the game, President Donald Trump tweeted out a congratulations to the team, and also said the side represented the “Great State of Kansas” with the win.
The Kansas City Chiefs play in Kansas City, Missouri. While there is a Kansas City, Kansas which lies just across the border and neighbors the Missouri city, that is not where the Chiefs play. Trump (or his team) deleted the tweet shortly after it went up, but plenty of people caught screenshots.

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

Trump is going to sign an executive order moving the state boundaries so Kansas City ends up in Kansas and therefore making his tweet correct.
