When the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl this past Sunday, February 2, they received a congratulatory tweet from President Trump honoring their impressive skills.
There was only one problem. Trump also congratulated the great state of Kansas, but the Chiefs are actually based out of Kansas City, Missouri. It's a common mistake, but one many would hope the President would catch before tweeting.
People online knew how Trump generally reacts to his geographic mistakes.
This is the exact kind of gaffe that Twitter lives for.
Trump's ignorance was quickly condemned by many in the political world, include former Senators like Claire McCaskill.
This story also happened in the midst of a controversy where Trump's Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, challenged a reporter to identify Ukraine on a map.
The standards for a potential Trump replacement are truly low.
The President has repeatedly shown just how little he cares about middle America.
We've all been there at some point!
Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on both your Super Bowl victory and your apparent relocation to a neighboring state! It's been a very exciting time for the franchise.
