He salutes “the great state of Kansas.”

When President Donald Trump tweeted his congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs, he initially expressed his pride for “the Great State of Kansas.”

The Chiefs are based in Missouri. Not Kansas City, Kansas.

After a late comeback, the Chiefs scored a 31-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers, delivering Kansas City’s first NFL championship in 50 years. Star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was named the Super Bowl MVP.

Trump wrote at 10:15 p.m. on Sunday: “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!”

Within minutes, the president’s tweet was deleted and replaced — this time with the right state.

1. It pleases me that after spending $10M and doing an interview with Hannity

... and instead of being able to boast about being exonerated, this is the Trump/Super Bowl story that people are talking about.

2. Iceberg, goldberg.

This comes from an old joke

"That was for Pearl Harbor!" the Jewish man said.
"Pearl Harbor? That was the Japanese. I'm Chinese."
"Chinese, Japanese, you are all the same!"
"Oh!"
They continued walking and after a while the Chinese man whirled and knocked the Jewish man to the ground.
"What was that for?" the Jewish man asked.
"That was for the Titanic!"
"The Titanic? That was an iceberg."
"Iceberg, Goldberg, you are all the same."

Of course, there actually is a Kansas City, Kansas, but it's not where the Chiefs are based.
