Celebrate St. Patty's Day with a Four-Leaf Clover MAGA Hat! No one will notice the errors.

.


The dumbshits at Trump University and the GOP screwed another pooch!

They released a St. Patrick's Day version of their Make America Great Again hat, with just two exceptions:







They refer to St. Patrick's Day as St. Patty's Day, instead of St. Paddy's Day.

They used an international four-leaf clover, instead of Ireland's three-leaf Shamrock!



The Republican Party promoted the hats as a stylish way to celebrate “St. Patty’s Day,” but Twitter quickly noticed that the hat is stitched with a four-leaf clover, rather than the shamrock associated with the holiday.

Legend has it that St. Patrick, the Irish saint for whom the holiday is named, used the three leaves of a shamrock as a visual metaphor when teaching about the Christian trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

He did not use a four-leaf clover.



The GOP referred to “St. Patty’s Day,” but Twitter was quick to point out the correct shortened spelling is “St. Paddy’s Day.”




Check out the humorous Twitter responses to just another one of today's FUBARs:

Even if the maker got written sign-offs before making, Trump & Co. find a way to stiff that US firm. TheBlackAdder Mar 2017 #7

They fuck up everything they touch. If they can't do something as simple as designing an accurate St. Patrick's day (Paddy, not Patty) commemorative hat - and everybody knows a shamrock has three leaves - you can be sure they're fucking up the big stuff, too.

You're right. They pulled them from the blowback!

The grifting profits are just too great to deny any sale otherwise.
