In a tweet Saturday morning, Trump wished the nation a "Happy #StPatricksDay" and included a photo of the northern White House fountain, which has been dyed green for at least the past two days in celebration of the holiday.

The U.S. Embassy in Vienna also tweeted a picture of the fountain on Friday, and quoted the president's remarks made during a visit from Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.

Dyeing the White House fountain green appears to be one of the few traditions followed by the Obama administration that the president has embraced wholeheartedly.
