Except that this Kansas City is in Missouri. https://t.co/HzK2yC3p91— Steve Vladeck (@Steve Vladeck) 1580699852.0

The President has repeatedly shown just how little he cares about middle America.
Trump cares so much about Kansas and Missouri that he can’t bother to figure out where Kansas City is.— Neera Tanden (@Neera Tanden) 1580702770.0
