Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is trying to cash in on former President Donald Trump's conviction by selling "she was right about everything" mugs.
Trump raised over $34.8 million, from mostly small donors, in the ten hours after the verdict was handed down.
The $22 mugs feature an outline of Clinton sipping from a mug with “Turns out she was right about everything” written in blue.
“We recently had some new merch made based on a phrase I hear a lot. The design happened to be finalized today,” Clinton wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday following the verdict.
Proceeds from the mug, Clinton said, will benefit her political action organization.
“With your purchase, you’ll support Onward Together groups defending democracy… and get a pretty great mug to sip tea from,” Clinton said.
By the next day, Clinton had disabled comments on the post—but not before many people commented that she should be in jail.
"You should be in jail," Republican political commentator Tomi Lahren wrote. Her response had over 1,300 "likes" in less than a day. Hillary Clinton hawking mugs as a way of celebrating the usurpation of the US justice system to target political enemies. pic.twitter.com/Uf2Bj5BcQD

The Hill noted, "It’s not the first time that Clinton has eyed a fundraising opportunity — and a potential chance to troll the ex-president — when Trump’s legal woes have dominated headlines. In 2022, she highlighted a line of hats bearing the phrase, 'But Her Emails,' following a report that Trump disposed of documents in the toilet of the White House. She hawked the hats again last year following an announcement of a federal indictment over his handling of classified documents."
