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.

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 once even 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.

“Well, I have to tell you, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than right here,” she said after the audience erupted in laughter and cheers.
Trump was convicted earlier 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.
