Statue depicting Trump, Epstein as Jack, Rose from 'Titanic' appears on National Mall

The Secret Handshake group installed the satirical 12-foot statue to spotlight Trump-Epstein ties amid recent Justice Department and FBI revelations.

  • On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, the Secret Handshake installed a 12-foot statue of President Donald Trump embracing Jeffrey Epstein on the National Mall, set to remain until Friday, March 13.
  • Continuing its protest series, The Secret Handshake erected the statue to satirize and memorialize President Donald Trump’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, as in the past.
  • Titled KING OF THE WORLD, the installation features a plaque comparing Trump and Epstein to Jack and Rose and is flanked by ten giant banners echoing this theme.
  • The White House initially did not respond to requests for comment, and Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, denied Trump’s involvement while U.S. Park Police have previously removed a similar statue overnight that reappeared for four days.
  • The installation coincides with recent DOJ disclosures, as the Justice Department released three FBI interview summaries and reportedly withholds up to 50 terabytes of Epstein files.
