A 12-foot statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein showed up in Washington, DC this week. It shows the two men smiling and holding hands like they are heading off toward the Washington Monument.

The statue was built from wire, wood, foam, and resin. It was put up yesterday morning to mark Friendship Month and will stay until Saturday. An anonymous group called The Secret Handshake claimed credit. They said it was to “celebrate the friendship of these real men.”

The White House quickly responded with a statement. They said: “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.

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

Along with the statue, there were three plaques. Two of them had parts of a 50th birthday letter Trump allegedly wrote to Epstein years ago. That letter was made public this month by the House Oversight Committee, and Trump’s lawyers filed a $10 billion lawsuit saying it does not even exist.

Online reactions called it trolling at the highest level. One Reddit user said: “Whoever did this deserves every medal, award, and prize check in existence. They have won everything.”

Trump and Epstein were close for years until they reportedly fell out after Epstein hired one of Trump’s employees. Epstein died in prison six years ago, but people still bring up his ties. When the Epstein Files were released, Elon Musk said he was angry there was no client list and that Trump was not named in anything.
