Ladies and gentlemen, this man really is the President of the United States… **sighs**
After a dud of a game for most of the night, the Super Bowl ended with a flourish late in the second half on Sunday evening, and the Kansas City Chiefs claimed their first championship in exactly 50 years — an impressive feat, no doubt! But alas, Donald Trump and his mindless Twitter fingers quickly made a laughingstock of it all thanks to his unbelievable ignorance of simple American geography.

Hours after the Chiefs’ 31-20 Sunday night victory over the San Francisco 49ers, our Big-Boy President tweeted this unimaginably stupid thing congratulating the team, and the city (below):
Ahhhhhh!
Catch the mistake there, y’all?!
As almost everyone who watches sports probably knows, the Kansas City pro teams (Chiefs and Royals, to name the biggest two) call Kansas City, Missouri their home — not the one across the border in Kansas. The Missouri city is much bigger and officially houses the Chiefs, their stadium, and their team and personnel offices.

Now, to be fair to Trump, Kansas City, Kansas is quite literally right across the state line from the bigger metropolis in Missouri, so it’s not like he made up a fake city or something. (Remember Kellyanne Conway‘s completely phony “Bowling Green Massacre”?! Yeah…)
And the Chiefs do have a lot of fans in Kansas, and the other surrounding states — like Nebraska, Arkansas… shall we go through the whole list, Donald?!
But still, it doesn’t exactly incite confidence in the supposed leader of this country if he doesn’t know which teams actually play in which city… and he doesn’t care enough to double-check things like that before firing off his early morning tweets. A small mistake, but a very stupid one, nonetheless.
Fortunately, the Donald eventually got things right, deleting the Kansas tweet and replacing it with this factually-correct version, as you can see:
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!

There you go, Donald! Second time’s the charm!
We knew you’d get it eventually… it just took a couple of tries. Happens to the best of us! LOLz!!!!
What do U think, Perezcious readers?! Sound OFF on poor Donald’s geography fail and the rest of the game itself, down in the comments (below)!!!
