"The bronze statue shows two men frolicking, grinning wide and holding hands, each with a foot joyously kicked back. We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his closest friend,' Jeffrey Epstein, a plaque at the bottom of the spray-painted bronze installation reads. A permit from the National Park Service will allow the statue to stay on the National Mall grounds through 8pm on Sunday."
"The sculpture's spotlight on Trump's past relationship with the convicted sex trafficker underscores what has been a particularly persistent thorn in the president's side, and has caused fissures in the Trump's typically united Maga base. While the president has worked to quash interest into the two's former friendship, the issue continues to surface again and again. An alleged letter from Trump to Epstein in the latter's 50th birthday book included a drawing of a nude woman's torso."
A spray-painted bronze statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein was placed on the east end of the National Mall. A plaque on the installation quotes a line celebrating the long-lasting bond between Trump and Epstein. The National Park Service issued a permit allowing the statue to remain through 8pm on Sunday. The fabricator remains unknown, though the piece resembles prior sculptures critical of Trump. The installation draws attention to Trump's past association with the convicted sex trafficker, has strained parts of the Maga base, and reproduces lines from an alleged birthday-book letter.
