Titanic-Style 12- Feet Statue of Trump and Epstein Appears on Washington’s National Mall
A gold statue of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein recreating a famous scene from Titanic suddenly appeared at the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
A strange and eye-catching statue suddenly appeared at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., United States on 10 March.
The statue is a sarcastic artwork showing U.S. President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
ISH News has released a detailed video explaining Epstein and the Epstein files. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4U54Q-tWsg
The sculpture recreates the famous scene from the 1997 film Titanic, where Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater stand at the front of a ship with their arms stretched out.
In this version, Trump stands behind Epstein on a ship model. The statue is nearly 12 feet tall and painted gold, making it hard to miss among the monuments of the National Mall. It is titled “King of the World,” a famous line from Titanic. Nearby banners show photos of the two men with the slogan “Make America Safe Again.”
The statue quickly drew crowds. Some visitors took photos, while others debated its message.
The artwork was created by a mysterious artist group called The Secret Handshake, known for protest art mixing humour, pop culture and politics.
In 2025, the same group installed another statue called “Best Friends Forever” at the National Mall showing Trump and Epstein holding hands and dancing. Authorities quickly removed it.
Although the statue looks like metal, it is actually made from foam, resin, wood and wire, painted to resemble bronze. Temporary artworks like this sometimes receive permits from the National Park Service but are usually removed after a short time.
The statue sparked mixed reactions. Some people treated it like a tourist attraction, while others called it offensive. The White House also criticised the installation, calling it politically biased.
