"The nearly 12-ft sculpture, unveiled on Tuesday on the National Mall, is the third piece of guerrilla art satirising Trump's past relationship with Epstein attributed to The Secret Handshake, a shadowy collective whose members remain anonymous. It is not known if the statues are related to a Jeffrey Epstein Walk of Shame recently installed in Farragut Square, a public park close to the White House, that featured Hollywood-like stars with the names of prominent figures tied to Epstein."
"Trump stands behind Epstein with arms outstretched as the pair face the distant spire of the Washington Monument, mounted on a replica of the bow of the ship. The installation, titled King of the World and spray-painted gold, is accompanied by plaques offering a pointed commentary on the pair's past association."
"This monument honors the bond between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, a friendship seemingly built on luxurious travel, raucous parties and secret nude sketches. Nearby, a row of 10 banners displays a photograph of Trump and Epstein together along with the slogan Make America Safe Again."
A mysterious guerrilla art collective called The Secret Handshake unveiled a nearly 12-foot golden sculpture on Washington's National Mall depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein as doomed lovers from the film Titanic. The statue, titled "King of the World," recreates the famous scene with Trump standing behind Epstein at the ship's bow facing the Washington Monument. This represents the third satirical artwork by the anonymous collective addressing Trump's past relationship with Epstein. Accompanying plaques draw parallels between the fictional romance and the Trump-Epstein friendship, both allegedly built on luxury travel, parties, and secrecy. Additional installations include a Jeffrey Epstein Walk of Shame in Farragut Square and banners displaying photographs of Trump and Epstein together with the slogan "Make America Safe Again." These interventions appear designed to maintain public attention on Epstein-related matters despite competing news cycles.
