On the witness stand Thursday, Stormy Daniels was cross-examined by the prosecution about trying to profit off her notoriety.

“When Trump was indicted in this case, you celebrated on Twitter by repeatedly tweeting and pushing merchandise you were selling in your store right?” said defense attorney Susan Necheles according to CNN.

“...People asked how they could support me so I tweeted the link to my store,” Daniels responded.

“That was you shilling your merchandise, right?” Necheles asks.

Daniels was quick to return fire. “Not unlike Mr. Trump,” she said.

Under oath, Daniels spoke the truth.

In the shilling Olympics, Trump is a gold medalist. Just four miles from the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse where Donald Trump faces 34 counts related to falsifying New York business records to interfere with the election, this Trump-y merchandise is being pushed in his store.

The Daily Beast recently visited Trump Tower which we called “The Saddest Building in NYC.” But these all-new photos show that Trump Tower is also the Shilling-est Building in NYC.
