'Tragic love story': Epstein and Trump get 'Titanic' treatment with new 12-foot DC statue

The past friendship between President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein was memorialized once again Friday after an anonymous artist group erected a 12-foot statue in Washington, D.C. to honor the “bond” between the two, and in the style of the 1997 hit film “Titanic.”

As reported by local CBS affiliate WUSA9, the statue was erected at the National Mall across from the Capitol, and came from the same group that erected another statue last year honoring Trump and Epstein’s past friendship.

The latest Trump-Epstein statue was titled “King of the World,” and depicts the two in the iconic “Titanic” pose as the film’s main characters, Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater. In the statue, Epstein is standing at the ship’s bow, arms outstretched, and Trump is pressed against Epstein from behind and supporting his arms.

A plaque was also attached to the installation providing even more tongue-in-cheek commentary about Trump and Epstein’s past relationship.

“The tragic love story between Jack and Rose was built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches,” the plaque reads. “This monument honors the bond between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, a friendship seemingly built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches.”

The group behind the statue, known as “The Secret Handshake,” was responsible for both the “Trump-Epstein Friendship Statue” from last year and January's 10-foot recreation of Trump’s bawdy birthday letter to Epstein sent in the early 2000s.
