K9Buck Posted February 3, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I like Trump and I voted for him, but would it be too much to ask for him to get a couple of proof readers before he posts a tweet?

+susieice Posted February 3, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Kansas City can be confusing anyway, unless you know what side of the river you need to be on. He should have been more careful before he said anything. https://kchistory.org/faq/why-there-kansas-city-both-kansas-and-missouri 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People pretty much know that the Chiefs are based in Kansas City, Missouri. But if you're looking to find something in Kansas City, you need to look to find out which one. It's weird but they both sit together right on the border. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted February 3, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Isn't it? You'd expect it to be. I know there's a Panama City in Florida, as well as in Panama, isn't there. Mind you, there's also a St Petersburg, but that's probably less likely to cause confusion.

The USA has a Boston (which is in the UK), Paris (which is in France), and Amsterdam (which is in Holland), and many many more. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted February 3, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hmm... it seems he realised his error, and deleted the offending tweet within minutes, replacing it with another congratulatory message which correctly placed the Chiefs in Montana ! Umm.. or was it Missouri ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should bow to the Great God Media, and their priesthood in the Washington Post, New York Times, and CNN, and only speak to The People through their Holy Filter. This "direct contact" will only cause disruption and confusion. Who KNOWS what unauthorised and un-blessed messages might sneak out ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+joc Posted February 3, 2020 #16 Share Posted February 3, 2020 If anything...that should prove that President Trump says what he thinks and not what Handlers tell him to say. His Tweets are real, they're raw...and that is exactly why the press hates him with a passion...because he doesn't heed the filter! All part of the appeal... ...and you know what millions of Americans are saying...at least to themselves...

InconceivableThoughts Posted February 3, 2020 #21 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) I lived roughly an hour from Kansas City....always knew is was in Missouri even made up the joke Kansas is such a bad state that Kansas city is in Missouri.

RAyMO Posted February 3, 2020 #22 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Its not surprising that Trump got this wrong - But his twits are great for those of us interested in Trump as it allows him to demonstrate time and again the despite his claim to be a genius, the reality is - he doesn't even know enough, to know he doesn't know.

I know there is a Kansas City on either side of the river...one in Missouri and one in Kansas...but I always thought the Chiefs were in Kansas. ....but then again, I loathe the NFL and so don't pay attention to it...only learned The Chiefs were in the super bowl yesterday. Which is my testimony to Ignorance is Bliss with regards to the Propaganda Machine. I don't take much part in it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
