Donald Trump’s bestie back to making his life harder after causing a scene right outside the White House

It seems like Jeffrey Epstein is unwilling to leave his friend’s side, even after his demise. This week, residents of Washington, D.C., were surprised by an unusual art installation just outside the National Mall.

The art in question is a bronze colored statue of registered se* offender Jeffrey Epstein, and the current President of the United States, Donald Trump. The two individuals, considered former close friends, are depicted in the carving holding hands and beaming at each other. Their body language, which conveys a playful attitude with their legs raised, is further supposed to serve as a testament of their long lasting friendship.

The sculpture is accompanied by several plaques that poke fun at their relationship. Prominent among them is one that acknowledges their bond in celebration of Friendship Month. It reads:
“We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein.”


While those behind the installation remain unknown, an anonymous group who have identified itself as The Secret Handshake has taken responsibility for it. In a statement shared exclusively with USA Today, the group has allegedly called itself a “very small group of citizens.” They have also spoken of their agenda which involves the use of “art, irony, and humor” as a means to express “social commentary.” Additionally they intend to “spark political conversation in public spaces.”


The art installation comes at a time when there is widespread conversation surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and the Epstein files. The latter is said to contain the names of all those who were involved in the illegal activities, including se* trafficking, he carried out in his lifetime.


It is believed that the contents of the Jeffrey Epstein files are not being publicly released to protect the identities of those who feature in them. It is also widely considered that the files contain the name of Donald Trump along with those of several influential people. The consensus is that Trump is playing a major role in protecting the document.
