Julia Louis-Dreyfus jokes that Trump's 'Kansas' tweet would have been great 'Veep' material

"The Great State of Kansas" would have been perfect material for "Veep," Julia Louis-Dreyfus joked on "Ellen" Tuesday.

In case you missed it, after the Kansa City Chiefs won the Super Bowl on Sunday, President Donald Trump tweeted a message congratulating the team.

“You represented the Great State of Kansas and, in fact, the entire USA, so very well. Our Country is PROUD OF YOU!” his tweet read.

The tweet was up for 12 minutes, noted Louis-Dreyfus, before it was deleted and tweaked to say the "Great State of Missouri."

The "Seinfeld" star said she didn't watch the game, but she saw "the tweet" and the retweet by former Missouri senator Claire McCaskill.

"It is so extraordinary," she said to Ellen DeGeneres. "Great state of Kansas. Kansas City, Kansas. Yeah, he really gets this country." 

But, she does wish she could've used the moment in "Veep."

"It would be really fun to script those 12 minutes between him launching the tweet and it getting deleted," she said. "What an idiot! Idiot. It's so humiliating."

The award-winning HBO series ended last year and Louis-Dreyfus said has mixed feelings about whether she misses it. 

"I mean I have to say, I think he's (Trump) doing a better job of our show except to say that it, in fact, isn't even remotely funny." She added that the show was super fun but it's just "hard to compete with that crap."

Louis-Dreyfus also talked to DeGeneres about beating cancer and how having other survivors to confide in really helped her in that "challenge."

"People starting reaching out to me," she said, adding that one of them was a friend of the "Ellen" show, Kym Douglas. "I didn't anticipate getting comfort from comforting her. It really made me feel so good to be letting her know."

Louis-Dreyfus was on the show to promote her new movie "Downhill" in which she stars with Will Ferrell. It premieres Feb. 14.
