But he still made it through their program, but we have people with a semester at a community college under their belt calling him stupid????

People with an Ivy League degree and worth $4B are not stupid...

This is a petty criticism. There is a Kansas City, KS. A lot people who aren't big sports fans don't know which Kansas City the Chiefs & Royals play in.. who cares, it's not a sin or shortcoming to mix up a meaningless detail like this.. Especially since it was a well intentioned congratulation.

Does the OP understand the difference between ignorance and stupidity? While I'm no fan of DJT, this is trivial criticism at best.

Umm... What? Is this a parody post or do you actually think that there is one city called Kansas City that is half in one state and half in another?

What? Weird take considering I didn't use the word stupid or ignorant. Intelligence is related to both though!

KCK is to KCMO somewhat like what Oakland is to SF or Tacoma is to Seattle. So before you go about calling anyone an IDIOT you might want to do your own fact checking first.
Ever hear of Bristol?

Yep. I think they even discussed on on the "How the States got their Shapes" series. Might've been on History Channel.

There's a Bristol in CT as well. I once knew someone (in CT) who would always say that she was from "Bristol, CT," apparently to differentiate from any other Bristols. I always thought that was strange, but maybe not.
