Twitter Noticed An Error On The New Green Trump Hats

Looks like someone needs a history lesson.

It’s yet another bad hair day for President Donald Trump.

Last week, Team Trump announced a special green edition of their “Make America Great Again” hats. In a thrilling holiday update, the back of the hat bears a symbol to commemorate St. Patrick’s Day.

However, it’s the wrong one.

The Republican Party promoted the hats as a stylish way to celebrate “St. Patty’s Day,” but Twitter quickly noticed that the hat is stitched with a four-leaf clover, rather than the shamrock associated with the holiday.

The four-leaf clover is used as a good-luck symbol all around the world.

Legend has it that St. Patrick, the saint for whom the holiday is named, used the three leaves of a shamrock as a visual metaphor when teaching about the Christian trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

He did not use a four-leaf clover.

@TeamTrump If you knew anything about Ireland you would have a shamrock and not clover on the cap.

@TeamTrump Guess you used a 4-leaf clover instead of a shamrock to symbolize the trinity+Trump.

@TeamTrump That's not a Shamrock! Make America Smart Again #MASA not #MAGA

Can #Trump please not associate himself with Ireland? We really don't want anything to do with him - also a shamrock only has three leaves

The GOP referred to “St. Patty’s Day,” but Twitter was quick to point out the correct shortened spelling is “St. Paddy’s Day.”
