Trump made this mistweet after the Kansas City Royals won the 2020 Super Bowl:

And he did erase that tweet & posted a correct one, but only after Senator Claire McCaskill (and probably several others) responded that 'It's Kansas City, Missouri ..."

Yes, there is a "Kansas City, Kansas"; but it's a verry different city from Kansas City, Missouri! (although it could be they're RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER ???)

I'm trying to find a list of 'cities named after states' ... the closest I've found so-far is either a list of cities named after the state they're in, or a list of locations a few travelers run into ...

'The few states I can think of that we might mix up' (below-hyperlinked to ) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Kansas” is built on words that mean “members of the Dhegiha Branch of the Sioux Indian Family” (Arkansas). 
The word “Missouri” is built on words that mean “People of the Big Canoes” (Algonquin name for a group from the Chiwere (Sioux) tribe). 
The word “Washington” is built on words that mean “Estate of a Man Named Wassa.” 
The word “Virginia” is built on words that mean “Virgin” (as it was named-after Queen Elizabeth I, "The Virgin Queen"). But the common first-name comes from words that mean "Characteristic of the Roman Poet Virgil (Man of Valor)."
The word "Maryland" is built on words that mean "Land named for Henrietta Maria (Wife of English King Charles I)."
The word “Michigan” is built on words that mean “Big Lake.”
