WASHINGTON — Being president is serious business. But running for president? There’s room to get a little weird.
Some presidential hopefuls are selling quirky items in their online stores — and we’re talking more than beer coozies and onesies — though you can buy those too.
Hillary Clinton, former first lady, secretary of state and now 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, is known for her pantsuits. Now, she’s bringing her style to the casual supporter.
The HillaryClinton.com store is selling a red T-shirt designed to look like the jacket of a pantsuit. It features a necklace design, pin on the lapel and even pockets. All in 2D, of course.
On the back, near the neckline, it reads “Pantsuit Up.” The price tag is $30.
For $55, supporters can also purchase a small pillow with cross stitching that reads “A woman’s place is in the White House.”
Clinton isn’t the only presidential hopeful selling garb of course.
On the Republican side, Rand Paul offers a bright yellow T-shirt that reads, “Don’t drone me, bro!” Another shirt features a dog wearing sunglasses and holding an American flag. It reads “Unleash the American dream.”
For $15, supporters can also purchase a small piece of plastic called an “NSA Spy Cam Blocker.” According to RandPaul.com, the user can stick it to a computer’s webcam to, “stop hackers and the NSA with this simple camera blocker. Safe and practical.”
The store also offers a poster designed to look like an eye exam chart — a reference to Paul’s other career as an optometrist. The poster says “Liberty, not Hillary.”
The eye exam chart sells for $20.16.
