Trump, Epstein ‘Best Friends Forever’ Statue Hastily Removed From DC’s National Mall
A garish statue of President Trump and late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was mysteriously erected on the National Mall on Tuesday — and removed by Wednesday morning.
The bronze sculpture stood about 12 feet tall and appeared to show both men in a merry dance with Trump’s left hand gripping Epstein’s right.
One of the plaques under the figures read: “We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend’ Jeffrey Epstein” and attributed the stunt to an anonymous group called “The Secret Handshake.”
“We’re a very small group of citizens who are using art, irony, and humor to express social commentary and spark political conversation in public spaces,” the group told USA Today.
US Park Police hauled the installation away before daybreak Wednesday, telling WUSA 9 that it wasn’t in compliance with a permit that initially allowed it to remain through Sunday evening — though the department did not specify the issue.
