Anonymous Group Installs Controversial Trump-Epstein Statue Near U.S. Capitol

Washington, D.C. — An anonymous group known as 'The Secret Handshake' has taken credit for installing a pop-up statue depicting former President Donald Trump and financier Jeffrey Epstein holding hands near the U.S. Capitol. The bronze-colored sculpture, which appeared on September 23, features both figures in suits, with a plaque at its base that reads: 'In Honor of Friendship Month. We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his "closest friend," Jeffrey Epstein.' The plaque also includes the phrase 'There Must Be More To Life Than Ha,' seemingly cut off. The installation quickly drew attention from passersby and media outlets. The precise location of the statue places it in a highly visible area, prompting immediate public reaction and commentary regarding its provocative imagery and political implications. Authorities have not yet commented on the statue's presence or whether it will be removed.
