Trump and Epstein Titanic statue appears near White House in Washington

A massive Trump and Epstein Titanic pose statue appeared near White House created by guerilla artists Secret Handshake

A shocking new political art stunt has erupted in Washington after a towering statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein striking the famous bow pose from Titanic suddenly appeared in Washington near White House.

The controversial sculpture, installed by the anonymous guerrilla art collective known as The Secret Handshake, shows Trump standing behind Epstein with arms spread wide in a parody of the iconic Jack and Rose scene from the blockbuster film. The gold painted statue reportedly stands nearly 12 feet tall and faces toward the Washington Monument, instantly drawing crowds of tourists, photographers and stunned onlookers.

The artwork, titled ‘King of the World’ is meant as a provocative political commentary on the past social relationship between Trump and Epstein. Plaques placed at the base of the installation mock the pair’s connection by referencing luxury travel, parties, and the famous sketch scene from Titanic.

Visitors quickly gathered around the statue, with reactions ranging from laughter and selfies to outrage. Some spectators praised the installation for forcing uncomfortable conversations about power, politics, and accountability. Others called the display distasteful and inappropriate for such a prominent public space near the U.S. Capitol.

The White House also responded to the stunt, dismissing the sculpture as politically motivated and accusing critics of hypocrisy for focusing on Trump while ignoring other figures connected to Epstein over the years.

This is not the first time the mysterious collective has targeted the controversial relationship between the two men. The group previously installed a sculpture titled ‘Best Friends Forever’ on the National Mall in 2025, depicting Trump and Epstein holding hands in a satirical tribute to their alleged friendship.

The National Mall has long served as a stage for political protest art, but the latest installation has reignited debate over whether provocative sculptures belong at one of America’s most symbolic public spaces.

Whether viewed as biting satire or political trolling, the bizarre Trump and Epstein Titanic statue has already become one of the most talked about protest artworks to appear in Washington this year.
