St Patrick’s Day is coming up, and as usual, corporations are trying to cash in on the Irish celebration. One such person is Donald Trump, who is selling his signature Make America Great Again hat in green.

The only problem is, the emblem on the back isn’t the famed Irish shamrock, but a four-leaf clover. It may bring you luck, but it isn’t exactly Irish.The hats cost $50, so you’d expect them to be correct.
For the record, this is what a bunch of shamrocks looks like, artfully displayed on the hat of Prince William.The reaction on Twitter was blistering as usual to the error, with many using the shamrock emoji to illustrate their point.
@TeamTrump a shamrock has three leaves, not four ??

The Shamrock is trefoil, the four leaf clover has nothing to do with Ireland. #fail #doyourresearch @TeamTrump

@TeamTrump We Irish helped make America great. Do us one back by burning all of these. #PógMoThóin

@TeamTrump will the next batch of caps have the correct amount of leaves? Our shamrock only has 3 ??#TrumpsFakeFourLeafShamrock??

It doesn’t take more than a quick Google search to get things right, team Trump. Do better next time.
