President Donald Trump tweeted — and hastily deleted — congratulations to the wrong state after the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

"Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on a great game, and a fantastic comeback, under immense pressure. You represented the Great State of Kansas and, in fact, the entire USA, so very well. Our Country is PROUD OF YOU!" the now-deleted tweet read.

The Kansas City Chiefs, of course, call Missouri home.

Former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, tweeted a photo of Trump's words with the caption: "It's Missouri you stone cold idiot."

The erroneous tweet was replaced quickly by one that references the correct state, although its replies are full of people referencing the first tweet.

"Make up your mind. Are you proud of Kansas or Missouri?" one person tweeted.

Others were more supportive. "Mr President, it doesn't matter what state you say, here in Kansas City we are all members of the #ChiefsKingdom," another replied.

The Chiefs came from behind to dominate the 49ers in the second half, winning their first Super Bowl in 50 years by a score of 31-20.

"We never lost faith," quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “That's the biggest thing. Everybody on this team, no one had their head down. We believed in each other. That's what we preached all year long.”
