You used to see four-leaf clovers put up in association with St. Patrick and general evocations of things Irish sometimes even by members of the Irish diaspora, even around Boston, though more often by WASPs.
Apparently Trump et al. are as ignorant of the Trinity as he was that the Presbyterian church that went through the motions of confirming him when he was a child was Christian (he had to ask the pastor that when he went there on a campaign stop, probably the first time he'd been their since his confirmation).
The shamrock being associated with St. Patrick isn't a good-luck charm, it's an analogy of how there can be three entities in one being. In this case though, I think as used by Trump, it is a good example of how one head can be empty.
I hope he loses money on the hat sales.
