The 12-foot sculpture, made from materials like wire, wood, foam, and resin, shows the former US president alongside the late convicted sex offender. Both are depicted smiling warmly at each other while appearing to walk toward the Washington Monument.
The bizarre piece popped up early on September 23 to coincide with Friendship Month, and organizers said it would remain on display until September 27 before being removed.
Not surprisingly, the display drew a response from the White House, which released a statement condemning the stunt.
“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,” the official statement read.
“There’s very few people who have gone on the record and called Trump one of his good friends.”
Beside the figures are three plaques, two of which reportedly contain excerpts from a 50th birthday letter that Trump is said to have written to Epstein back in the early 2000s.
On Reddit, users reacted to the statue with a mix of humor and disbelief. One person wrote: “Whoever did this deserves every medal, award, and prize check in existence. They have won everything.”
Historically, Trump and Epstein, who died in prison six years ago, were known to be close friends until their falling out, which was reportedly sparked after Epstein hired away one of Trump’s employees.
When the so-called “Epstein Files” were released by the FBI, many expected to see a client list naming high-profile individuals. To the surprise of many, including Elon Musk, no such list appeared, and Trump’s name was not included in any criminal records.
