Statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands placed on National Mall

The work is the latest installation in Washington by an anonymous group of artists critical of the president.

The Washington Post

The National Park Service issued a permit for the sculpture that allows it to remain on the Mall until 8 p.m. Sunday. The purpose for the artwork stated on the permit application is “to demonstrate freedom of speech & artistic expression using political imagery.”

The 12' tall statue—made mostly of foam & wire, but painted bronze—is accompanied by 3 plaques. The middle plaque reads “In Honor of Friendship Month: We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump & his ‘closest friend’ Jeffrey Epstein.” It then directly references the intro to the strange letter #Trump allegedly wrote to #Epstein for the #pedophile financier’s 50th birthday book: “Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything.”

Trump Responds to Statue of Him and Jeffrey Epstein Holding Hands

A mysterious statue popped up overnight of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein frolicking and holding hands.

The New Republic

The other 2 plaques have Epstein’s name & the corresponding lines of the poem, & vice versa for Trump.

This statue represents the ongoing public fascination & outrage over the Trump admin’s repeated attempts to suppress further investigation into the #EpsteinFiles given his close friendship with the notorious sex predator.

The statues seemed to have struck a nerve within the #Trump admin, as they responded almost as quickly as the statues were erected.

“Liberals are free to waste their money however they see fit—but it’s not news that #Epstein knew Donald Trump, because Donald Trump kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep,” a White House spox told TMZ.

“Democrats, the media, & the organization that’s wasting their money on this statue knew about Epstein & his victims for years & did nothing to help them while President Trump was calling for transparency, & is now delivering on it with thousands of pages of documents,” the spox continued.

This response is pretty insufficient.

#Trump has recently said he kicked #Epstein out because he “stole” workers from him. There have also been reports that they fell out over a real estate deal. Either way, this story that Trump was some white knight who defended the honor of the women of Mar-a-Lago doesn’t hold up with his own words.

"#Trump has recently said he kicked #Epstein out because he “stole” workers from him."

Necessary edit:

"#Trump has recently said he kicked #Epstein out because Epstein “stole” 16 year-old Mar-A-Lago mens' locker room towel girls from him."

@FinchHaven @Nonilex the fact that he had 16 y/o girls handing out towels in the men’s locker room tells you everything you need to know about Trump’s behavior.
@Will @FinchHaven @Nonilex Bad enough all by itself. President? Fuck that! I wouldn’t let that scumbag dig a ditch.
