Titanic-inspired guerrilla statue ties Trump and Epstein to a doomed romance on the National Mall

A nearly 12-foot gold statue on the National Mall, attributed to The Secret Handshake, depicts Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein as Titanic lovers in a scene echoing Jack and Rose, titled “King of the World.” The installation—accompanied by banners with “Make America Safe Again” and redacted DOJ insignia—continues a series of guerrilla artworks intended to keep Epstein’s ties to powerful figures in public discussion. The White House condemned the piece; Trump has denied any wrongdoing and says he was exonerated. The permit lists a start date with an end date left blank, raising questions about its duration, and the project follows earlier pieces like “Best Friends Forever.”
