Earlier this week, the Donald Trump brain trust tried to cash in on St. Patrick's Day by peddling an Irish-ed up version of the "Make America Great Again" hat. Rather than red, the caps come in bright green with gold lettering, and with an Irish shamrock embroidered on the back.

Except that it isn't actually an Irish shamrock. It's a four-leaf clover. Which, if you're Irish, is something of a metaphorical kick in the teeth.

A four-leaf clover, on the other hand, is a mutation of the trefoil plant that superstitious people believe carries good luck.

A link to the website where you can purchase the hats, which no longer works, was tweeted out by the GOP, and some of the responses to that tweet were pretty entertaining:

Can't wait to see what the Trump team comes up with for Easter.
