New statue of Trump and Epstein recreating famed ‘Titanic’ scene is placed on National Mall
A new statue depicting President Donald Trump and deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein recreating a famous movie scene was placed on the National Mall near the U.S. Capitol Tuesday.
The large sculpture — titled “King of the World” — is a nod to the famous moment from the 1997 blockbuster The Titanic, when the film’s protagonists stand together at the prow of the doomed ship.
“The tragic love story between Jack and Rose was built on luxurious travel, raucous parties and secret nude sketches,” a plaque at the base of the installation states. “This monument honors the bond between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.”
Tourists were seen snapping pictures of the statue, which was situated in front of a row of banners displaying photos of Trump and Epstein along with the phrase “Make America Safe Again.”
It’s the latest piece of protest art to be installed on the National Mall by Secret Handshake, a group whose members are anonymous, according to The New Republic.

In September, the group erected a sculpture of the Republican president and Epstein holding hands in front of the Capitol. It was quickly removed.
The organization was also behind a poop statue criticizing January 6 rioters and a large replica of Trump’s alleged birthday letter to Epstein.
Trump’s relationship with Epstein has been under intense scrutiny ever since the Department of Justice began releasing its files on the deceased sex offender in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was signed into law in November. A number of the files reference Trump, as well as other high-profile figures.
The DOJ published a new batch of files earlier this month that named the 79-year-old president. Among those documents are three memos detailing FBI interviews with a woman who claimed Trump sexually assaulted her. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the allegation as “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
A number of Democrats have also called on the president to testify before the House Oversight Committee, which has deposed Bill and Hillary Clinton as well as Les Wexner, a longtime Epstein associate. Republicans on the committee, however, have said that Trump has been cleared of wrongdoing.

Trump conocía socialmente a Epstein en la década de 1990 y 2000, y la pareja fue fotografiada juntos en múltiples ocasiones, incluyendo en Mar-a-Lago y en el Hotel Plaza en la ciudad de Nueva York. Epstein le dijo al autor Michael Wolffe que era “su mejor amigo” en 2017 — dos años antes de su muerte en prisión, que fue declarada un suicidio.
El presidente ha declarado repetidamente que cortó los lazos con el delincuente por delitos sexuales hace años, y que no ha cometido ninguna falta. Ha descrito la controversia sobre Epstein como un “engaño” perpetrado por los demócratas.
