That’s right, they confused a three-leaf shamrock with a four-leaf clover – a heinous crime punishable by drowning in the Liffey. Needless to say, the internet was not impressed.
@TeamTrump That's not a Shamrock! Make America Smart Again #MASA not #MAGA

It wasn’t just the error on the hat, many found the association between Ireland and Trump to be offensive.
@TeamTrump All the Irish people I know hate you Trump!

Wow, it’s enough to make you think twice about spending $50 on a gaudy hat that will line the pockets of a massive bellend!
