In a since-deleted tweet, the President of the United States congratulated the state of Kansas on a Super Bowl victory. The only problem? The Kansas City football team is actually from Missouri.

The internet reacted to the tweet with a mixture of laughter and derision.

If you had Trump congratulating the state of kansas on its Super Bowl win tonight, collect your winnings at the ticket window. https://t.co/EnN9ACGtcW pic.twitter.com/vjBOnkrlkf — Brenden Schaeffer (@bschaeffer12) February 3, 2020

After seeing this tweet, I asked my 9-yr-old if she knew what state Kansas City was in! She did. Maybe someone should give Trump a blank map and ask him to fill in the states. That would be...um... interesting. #Missouri #NotKansas pic.twitter.com/ydK9L3oRrF — Cindi Avila (@ChefCindi) February 3, 2020

The tweet got thousands of likes, retweets and comments before it was deleted.

He later tweeted the congratulatory message again, this time with the correct state.

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! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 3, 2020
