EARLIER THIS WEEK, President Donald Trump successfully made a holy show of us with a line of Irish-themed Make American Great Again hats.
The hats, which Team Trump claimed would help you “capture the luck of the Irish,” drew consternation for featuring a four-leaf clover instead of a shamrock.
The New York Times article included this helpful explanation of the difference between a shamrock and four-leaf clover.
The hats went on sale last week in advance of the holiday, celebrated on March 17, and had a four-leaf clover — instead of a three-leaf shamrock — stitched on the back. A four-leaf clover is not a symbol of Ireland. It is just a plant.
It is just a plant.
No word yet on whether Team Trump will release a new hat to make up for the error.
One thing’s for certain, though – Enda Kenny will have to educate him in the ways of the shamrock.

Donald Trump has had to pull that embarrassing 'Irish' Paddy's Day hat from sale
EARLIER THIS WEEK, President Donald Trump successfully made a holy show of us with a line of Irish-themed Make American Great Again hats.
The hats, which Team Trump claimed would help you “capture the luck of the Irish,” drew consternation for featuring a four-leaf clover instead of a shamrock.
As you might expect, Irish people were rightly disgusted.
T-shirt manufacturer Hairy Baby even released a clever #AlternativeFacts t-shirt.
Now the New York Times is reporting that the hats have been “disappeared” from the website.
Intense.
A Trump spokesperson declined to comment on the matter, but customers are now redirected to a 404 error page if they follow the initial purchase link.
