Despite their best efforts, Republicans’ attempts to embrace St. Patrick’s Day haven’t exactly gone down a storm.
First there was Donald Trump’s green MAGA baseball cap, then there was his failed attempt to share an Irish proverb, and Thursday there was the not-exactly-positive response to Paul Ryan’s pint of Guinness.
As expected, Trump kicked off his Friday with a tweet celebrating St Patrick’s Day.
Happy Lá Fheile Phadraig to all of my great Irish friends!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2017

@realDonaldTrump Your great Irish friends who are likely descended from millions of refugees who came to America fleeing famine & oppression
— Man vs Pink (@ManVsPink) March 17, 2017

Translation: “Kiss my ass”.
Another day, another Twitter fail.
