Latest sculpture titled ‘King of the World’ includes plaques with pointed commentary on pair’s past association
A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets. The appearance of a golden statue depicting Donald Trump and the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein as doomed lovers from the movie Titanic is confronting Washington with a murkier mystery.
The nearly 12ft sculpture, unveiled on Tuesday on the National Mall, is the third piece of guerrilla art satirising Trump’s past relationship with Epstein attributed to The Secret Handshake, a shadowy collective whose members remain anonymous.
It is not known if the statues are related to a “Jeffrey Epstein Walk of Shame” recently installed in Farragut Square, a public park close to the White House, that featured Hollywood-like stars with the names of prominent figures tied to Epstein.
But together the interventions appear determined to keep the Epstein files, where Trump’s name appears thousands of times, in the public spotlight despite the war in Iran and myriad other distractions.
