It's not St. Patrick's Day until you've got your green and gold "Make America Great Again" hat securely on your head.

That's why the GOP and Donald Trump's team have been pushing sales of the $50 hat since last week -- to make sure you show your Trump support and avoid getting pinched when the Irish holiday rolls around on March 17.

The only problem? As people on Twitter pointed out, the hat features a four-leaf clover 🍀. St. Patrick's Day, however, is all about shamrocks ☘, which have three leaves.

While this mistake isn't new, Trump's team did make the hat especially for St. Patrick's Day, so a little research could have gone a long way.

There's always next year to make their hats great again.
