New statue on National Mall celebrates ‘long-lasting bond’ between Trump and Epstein
Bronze statue by an anonymous creator shows the two men frolicking and holding hands with a foot kicked back in joy
There’s a new statue on the east end of the National Mall for Washington DC residents and tourists to enjoy. The bronze statue shows two men frolicking, grinning wide and holding hands, each with a foot joyously kicked back.
“We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein,” a plaque at the bottom of the spray-painted bronze installation reads.
