The president appeared to mistake the home state of the new Super Bowl champions
Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers“Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on a great game, and a fantastic comeback, under immense pressure,” Trump wrote in the tweet, which has now been deleted. “You represented the Great State of Kansas and, in fact, the entire USA, so very well. Our Country is PROUD OF YOU!”
While the Chiefs did put on a great game and did execute a fantastic comeback, they did not represent the “Great State of Kansas,” as Trump said. Instead, they represented Missouri, the actual state the Chiefs call home and where Kansas City is located.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.
