Happy St. Patricks Day! 🍀🍀🍀🌈🌈🌈🏆 4 years ago the Taoiseach (prime minister) of Ireland visited President Trump. There’s a funny story to that tie President Trump is wearing in this photo, from #TheBriefing: As I got ready to leave that night, I called the president at the residence. 
“Sir, just a reminder about the St. Patrick’s Day event tomorrow—do you have a green tie?” 
“Yeah! Of course I have a green tie,” President Trump said.
“For tomorrow?”
A long pause.
“Well, I have one in New York, but I don’t have one here.”
“I’ve got an extra green tie. Would you like me to bring it in?” “Thanks, sure, but let me see what I can do. It’d be great to have a 
backup in case I can’t find one. Let’s touch base in the morning.”
I’m thinking to myself, It’s 8:00 p.m., and you are the president. Unless you’re going to dispatch the military to get your green tie, it is 
not going to get to the White House by tomorrow. 
The next morning, I put on a green tie with my suit and packed a second green tie in my bag to take to work with me. First thing that day, I delivered the green tie to the Oval Office and set it on the Resolute desk. The eighth-grade boy in me had to pause for a moment and marvel at the fact that a kid from Rhode Island, who as a student had never seen the inside of the White House, was now making sure that the leader of the free world had the right tie to wear. The billionaire president wore my green tie that entire day, including to the events with the Taoiseach. He must have liked it because I’ve never seen that tie again.
