A smug Hillary Clinton touted new merch with the slogan “turns out she was right about everything” — just hours after former rival Donald Trump became the first ex-president ever to be convicted of felony criminal charges.
The former Secretary of State took to Instagram Thursday to promote a $22 mug — complete with a painted image of herself sipping tea — in the wake of a Manhattan jury finding Trump, 77, guilty at his historic hush money trial.
“We recently had some new merch made based on a phrase I hear a lot. The design happened to be finalized today,” Clinton wrote alongside the post.
“With your purchase, you’ll support Onward Together groups defending democracy… and get a pretty great mug to sip tea from,” she added, referring to the organization she founded to raise funds for progressive political groups.
Clinton, who lost the 2016 presidential election to Trump, has repeatedly railed against her former GOP rival — claiming that he is a threat to democracy — and even once decried him as an “illegitimate president.”
The Democrat aired the illegitimacy remarks in a CBS interview in 2019 as she claimed Trump’s campaign engaged in “voter suppression,” “voter purging,” “hacking” and “false stories” to win the election.
Clinton also appeared to make another dig at Trump and his conviction Thursday during the 23rd annual Global Leadership Awards, hosted by the nonprofit Vital Voices Global Partnership, in Washington DC.
Stepping out on stage at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the former first lady quipped, “Anything going on today?”
“Well, I have to tell you, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than right here,” she said after the audience erupted into laughter and cheers.
Trump was convicted earlier on Thursday on all 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment that his former “fixer” Michael Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election to silence her claims about sleeping with the real estate mogul a decade prior.
The presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee slammed the case as “rigged” and “disgraceful” and his attorneys have said they plan to appeal the verdict.
