As the delegates at the Republican national convention in Cleveland Donald Trump for president, stalls outside were selling $5 commemorative badges.
Among the bestsellers are a pin featuring a photo of Clinton that reads "Life's a bitch, don't vote for one".
Another compares Clinton with Monica Lewinsky, who had an affair with her husband Bill Clinton while he was president, which reads: "Hillary sucks! But not like Monica!".

Alongside those are badges such as "Hot chicks for Donald Trump", "Hillary for Prison 2016" and "Hillary's Lies Matter".
Australian author, journalist and feminist Anne Summers says the attacks are not only sexist and misogynistic, they're nothing new- because we saw it with Julia Gillard.
"I think it's disgusting, but it's par for the course," Ms Summers told SBS.
"I guess they've got a limited imagination, because they keep recycling literally the same material over and over. The KFC imagery was used against Hillary Clinton in 2008, and then was used against Julia Gillard in 2012, so that's been around for a long time.
"Sexism and misogyny in politics is unfortunately a given at the moment, despite the number of women in very important leadership roles. Women in politics and elsewhere should not have to put up with this kind of sexiest and misogynistic mockery and commentary."

Along with the "Julia Gillard Kentucky Fried Quail" which featured on a Liberal party dinner menu in 2013, Gillard was labelled "JuLIAR" and called "Bob Brown's bi---" during her time as prime minister.
In 2011, the then-opposition leader Tony Abbott was photographed in front of a "Ditch the witch" poster at a rally outside parliament house in Canberra.
Ms Gillard declined to comment.
Summers says she hopes by now most people are able to see past these sorts of attacks on female politicians.
"These people are just pathetic if they think that serious people are going to be fooled by this," says Summers, a former advisor to Prime Minister Paul Keating and former head of the Office of the Status of Women in the Hawke government.
"I think it's disgusting to sledge women like this, but I think most of us have moved beyond that and we're not going to take any notice of it.
"This is nothing new, it hasn't changed. The only thing I'd say is they haven't been able to come up with any new examples or any new memes, so I hope they're running out of steam."
