    What an outrage! Add this to the least of what needs to be investigated and possibly impeached for in years to come?

    It was a typo that was very quickly corrected... Who cares.

    ACTUALLY, part of Kansas City IS located in Kansas (just not the part that the football stadium is in). So, are you now calling YOURSELF "geographically illiterate", as you said above?

    He can find Ukraine. I can too. I was already aware of what those elitist morons thought of me before seeing that CNN clip... That's why I vote Republican.

    ... and you're actually correct. KC is weird in that it is in both Kansas AND Missouri.

    The part of the city that the football stadium is located is in Missouri, however.

    Akin to how the stadium for the "New York" Giants/Jets is actually located in New Jersey, and how the stadium for the "Washington" Redskins is actually located in Maryland. So Trump doesn't know about little football stadium quirks like that... Who cares...

    Nope, you'll find me calling him an idiot. There's a big difference between knowing the location of a sports team and knowing how many states make up the country in which you're the president of. However, I'm not trying to compare the two, I'm calling y'all out for your well known double standards.

    It is also in Missouri.

    Who knows. But it's not like he congratulated the state of Indiana for Chicago winning or something well off the charts like that. KC stretches over Missouri and Kansas. I thought it was funny, but not something worth trashing him over. It's corny to trash him over not knowing the location of Arrowhead stadium. If he was a sports analyst it would be different.

    I'd have to look it up to be honest, but just off assumption, I'd say MO.

    It WAS in Kansas when you were 8, and it's still in Kansas now.

    So if you weren't sure, or there was any doubt, wouldn't you look it up or ask somebody before you stated Kansas to the world?

    I know I would... and just about everybody I know would...

    It’s comically disingenuous to pretend Obama didn’t know how many states and didn’t just misspeak. But I’m sure you know that.

    Grade school level? Kinda like the President calling all his rivals by nicknames like "shorty" and "stupid".

    Then why the big fuss about Trump's tweet? He corrected it immediately.

    If I'm not mistaken, KC is in both states, right? Secondly, who gives a crap?

    No, he did not misspeak - if you look at the video Obama gave it a thoughtful pause. I think Obama knew that; he just... forgot! No biggy, you too can forget how many States are there in the Union. Right? :D

    I see a whole bunch of trump supporters working real hard on this thread to make sure everyone knows that the Kansas City Chiefs really do represent the state of Kansas or to trot out some comment from 10 years ago that Obama said because they totally do not give a crap.

    No you don't get to move the goal posts. While your glee in railing on the President, you said:
    I try not to begrudge some Americans for being geographically illiterate like not knowing that Kansas City is not, in fact, located in Kansas. But I definitely hold the President to a higher standard.
    You talk about geographically illiterate only to realize that it was you that was geographically illiterate. "Kansas City" is in fact in Kansas as you've since learned and have tried to change the argument for your own illiteracy.​
