Hillary Clinton Unveils 'Petty' Merch Following Donald Trump's Guilty Verdict

Hillary Clinton seems to be enjoying Donald Trump's historic feat as the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime.

The diplomat, who served as the 67th United States secretary of state, dropped new merchandise that could be seen as her reaction to Trump's guilty verdict. Needless to say, her fans loved it.

Hillary Clinton has been going head-to-head with Trump for years, repeatedly calling him out for his controversial words and actions. Now, she gets to sip tea from a mug that says she has always been right!

In her latest Instagram post, Clinton shared a picture of her new merch — a mug with a vector illustration of herself holding a mug to where her mouth should be. Above her head were the words: "TURNS OUT SHE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING."

Although she didn't mention Trump's name, Clinton stressed that purchasing her new merch would support her journey to defend democracy — a jab that seemingly referenced the former president's guilty verdict. Her caption read:

"We recently had some new merch made based on a phrase I hear a lot. The design happened to be finalized today. With your purchase, you'll support Onward Together groups defending democracy... and get a pretty great mug to sip tea from."

Clinton's "petty" merch scored significant points with fans, many of whom believed her words were directed at Trump. "At least he finally got the popular vote," someone teased, with another declaring:

"The saddest part of 2016 was [that] people believed the worst rumors about a woman and ignored the worst facts about a man."

"If only we could have had you. You are and have always been the most worthy. We love you," a third penned. A fourth echoed similar sentiments to the merch's slogan, writing:

"Hillary was right. What she went through to stand up against lies and deceit to protect our Democracy has been heroic."

"Dear Hillary, You are stronger than steel and softer than a cloud. Love the merch!! And yes, you were right! about everything," a fan applauded Clinton.

Trump is famous for being vocal about his opinions, even if they are unpopular with most people. The Blast reported that he wasted no time addressing his guilty verdict in a lengthy statement, venting his emotions about the jury's decision.

As stated, Trump is the first president in U.S. history to be convicted of a crime after a jury found him guilty of 34 counts of felony in his hush money trial. However, the politician declared he wouldn't back down without a fight.

"Our whole country is being rigged right now. This was done by the Biden administration in order to wound, to hurt an opponent. A political opponent," Trump told the press outside the courtroom, adding:

"And I think it's just a disgrace, and we'll keep fighting, we'll fight till the end, and we'll win because our country has gone to hell. We don't have the same country anymore; we have a divided mess."

The former president vehemently denied his guilt in the hush money case and blamed his conviction on the poor state of the country and its legal system. In Trump's words:

"We are a nation in decline, serious decline of people pouring into our country right now. From prisons and from mental institutions. Terrorists, and they're taking over our country."

He continued: "We have a country that's in big trouble, but this was a rigged decision right from day one. With a conflicted judge who should have never been allowed to try this case, never."

Trump seemingly implied that his lawyers would appeal the case, saying: "We will fight for our constitution.This is more from over. Thank you very much."

The hush money trial garnered much attention, given the severe allegations against Trump. He was accused of falsifying business records in payments made to former adult film star Stormy Daniels.

The case featured several dramatic moments, including multiple outbursts from Trump, about the gag order placed on him at the start of the criminal trial. He also refused to testify, claiming he didn't need to because the prosecution "had no case."

Now, Trump is facing up to four years in prison for all 34 counts against him. However, as a first-time offender, the billionaire mogul could be given a lighter sentence.

The outcome of Trump's punishment will be unveiled at his sentencing hearing on July 11, 2024.
