Donald Trump incorrectly congratulates Kansas after Chiefs win Super Bowl
Once the Kansas City Chiefs were crowned Super Bowl champions after defeating the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Donald Trump decided to tweet out a message of congratulations. In the process, he completely mixed up the geography of the country he runs.
Apparently a town with a population under 200,000 now host the reigning champions.

I guess they can still represent the state of Kansas in their win, just in the next state over.
Trump quickly deleted his erroneous tweet and replaced it with one containing the correct information.
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!

The Chiefs were down by 10 points in the second half until a massive fourth-quarter comeback to secure the 31-20 win over the 49ers.
Trump would later correct himself, tweeting congratulations to the state of Missouri. The internet never forgets, Donald.
