Trump's St. Patrick's Day hat seems a little off... and the Internet responded

It appears President Donald Trump’s team has made an error in its St. Patrick's Day version of the popular “Make America Great Again” hats – and it’s causing a stir online.

 

While the cap is traditionally red, Trump’s team has released a green version in advance of St. Patrick's Day, which is March 17.

 

But as Time points out, the hat’s biggest nod to St. Paddy’s Day is actually incorrect.

 

A four-leaf clover emblazons the back of the cap, but social media users were quick to point out that four-leaf clovers – while rumored to bring good luck -- are, in fact, not an Irish symbol. 

 

The real symbol of Ireland is the shamrock, which has only three leaves. 

 

Twitter responded accordingly. See the reactions below:
