    WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump fumbled his congratulatory tweet following the Super Bowl.

    On the heels of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 31-20 Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Trump tweeted his congratulations to the Chiefs for a “fantastic comeback.” He added: “You represented the Great State of Kansas and, in fact, the entire USA, so well. Our Country is PROUD OF YOU!”

    Plenty of people in Kansas are indeed Chiefs fans. But just as many and likely more are in Missouri. Just ask the season-ticket holders at Missouri-based Arrowhead Stadium. Or the thousands cheering Sunday night in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

    Although the Missouri-Kansas state line divides metropolitan Kansas City, the team itself is based on the Missouri side.

    The president’s tweet was quickly deleted and later replaced with a new message: “We are proud of you and the Great State of Missouri. You are true Champions!”

    Leaving out Kansas altogether might annoy those on the other side of the state line.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if the Democrats try to impeach him for this.

    Then why do the Republicans pounce on all the mid-statements made by Joe Biden?

    Please excuse the typo. It should be MIS-statements.

    Trump is busy bragging that his HOUSE IMPEACHMENT and SENATE TRIAL got higher ratings than Bill Clinton’s. What a moron he is.

    I’ve actually made that mistake in the past.

    This rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. An impeachable offense. Trump must resign immediately.
