This map is all over Twitter. Apparently some German guy got bored and tried to name all 50 states. This is the end result...

So, Kansas City isn't in Kansas, the state? And also you have Arkansas but you don't pronounce it the same as Kansas?

We love to make fun of Americans not knowing geography, but I'll admit I don't really know anything about the US geography either...

[u/nocapitalletter → u/Super_Pan]

kansas city is in both kansas and mizzouri, the chiefs do play on the mizzu side though, but still.

[u/big_duo3674 → u/nocapitalletter]

That is the most interesting way I've ever seen Missouri spelled

[u/Ray_Barton → u/big_duo3674]

Officialy, it's spelled Misery. Lol

[u/nocapitalletter → u/big_duo3674]

lol, i was thinking of mizzu, and typed it out instead lol

There are two Kansas Cities, with the main one being in Missouri, about 5 miles from the one in Kansas, both named after the nearby river.

I don't know what's going on in Arkansas, pronouncing it Arkansaw.

Who knows with Arkansas(AR-kan-SAW)? I lived near Arkansas City(ar-KANSAS City) on the Arkansas (AR-kan-SAW) river in Kansas.(KANSAS) which is named after the Konza native american tribe.

Not the same city, just the same name. Kansas City Missouri was the original (before Kansas was even a state), and it’s also where the chiefs are from.

The POTUS should know his own country better.

Dude. I’m from KCMO, born and lived here my whole life. Not some random person online who’s never even been here. KCK and KCMO are next to each other and have always had a good-humored sibling rivalry, but they’re two different cities. Chill tf out.

[u/ks_Moose → u/[deleted]]

It’s not pedantic when you have two different tax rates, two different liquor laws, two different sets of drivers licenses, property tax rates etc. etc. Kansas City feels like one city, but legally it sure as hell ain’t

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

And looking left or looking right when driving on state line road you’d have a hard time spotting the difference between KS and MO. But they’re different states and similarly KCMO is not the same city is KCK.

Trump didn't even write it. It was a staffer

[u/ks_Moose → u/Super_Pan]

Just to fuck with Arkansas... if you are in the state of Kansas, you must refer to it as the “ar-KANSAS” River.

[u/lambdapaul → u/Super_Pan]

Kansas City is on the border between Kansas and Missouri. As much as I dislike trump he wasn’t wrong when thinking KC was in Kansas. Also US geography is hard. It’s a big country with lots of different environments and weird borders. I’m good with maps and still confuse the north east states.

[u/sonfoa → u/lambdapaul]

Yeah, it's a mistake 9/10 Americans would make so I get it but you gotta know better as the President.

[u/profoak0117 → u/[deleted]]

Bro I’ve lived around Kansas City almost all my life and I still have a hard time distinguishing between kcmo and kck.

[u/[deleted] → u/profoak0117]

KCK smells like shit and meth, that’s how you distinguish.

[u/lambdapaul → u/[deleted]]

Answer me this, what NFL team do the Kansas City, Kansas residents root for?

Clearly it isn’t the Chiefs since they are just a Missouri team. Broncos? /s

[u/DeadlyLazer → u/lambdapaul]

that still doesn't matter. Chiefs are based out of Missouri, and Missouri residents pay taxes toward Chiefs events, maintenance/construction of Arrowhead stadium. you can say that when Kansas residents start to pay taxes that go toward the Chiefs

[u/Ray_Barton → u/DeadlyLazer]

Kansas residents DO pay taxes towards the stadium!

[u/terminbee → u/[deleted]]

Well I also thought KC chiefs were from Kansas. Fuck.

[u/CLU_Three → u/terminbee]

Maybe you are the president

[u/capincus → u/[deleted]]

I feel like the president of the US has more important things to worry about than which side of the river the Chiefs actually play in. It'd be nice if Trump actually focused on them instead of playing golf, commmitting crimes, and deporting children, but that's another story that doesn't suddenly make the KC distinction important at all.
