Mysterious Statue Of Donald Trump Holding Hands With Jefferey Epstein Erected In Washington DC Who Did It?

(MENAFN- Live Mint) A controversial statue of US President Donald Trump mysteriously appeared at the National Mall near the Capitol building in Washington DC on September 23 as the Republican leader was preparing for his United Nations participation in New York City on the day.

The 12-foot high statue is not exactly the one that would please him a lot. It shows the US President holding hands with convicted sex offender Jefferey Epstein , with the both looking at each other and smiling. The late financier and the Republican leader are standing on one leg as they hold hands in a friendly manner, with the base of the piece painted to look like marble.

The statue has three plaques. One of them mentions,“We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend' Jeffrey Epstein.”

“In Honor of Friendship Month,” the plaque's headline mentions, along with a pair of hands making a heart sign, in an apparent attempt to mock Donald Trump's alleged friendship with Jefferey Epstein.

Who made the installation?

According to a report by USA Today, a group called The Secret Handshake Project has claimed credit for the protest art installation at the National Park.

This is the third such anti-Trump art installation that has popped up at the US capital since June. The group had also installed the so-called "Dictator Approved" piece, which is a 8-feet tall statue depicting a hand making a thumbs-up gesture while squashing the crown of the Statue of Liberty. It had also erected the "Gold TV statue" multimedia installation, where a golden television depicted Donald Trump dancing with people, including Jefferey Epstein.
