Anonymous Collective Installs Trump–Epstein ‘Titanic’ Statue on the National Mall

The temporary satire by The Secret Handshake seeks to refocus attention on their reported ties as new case documents keep the Epstein story in public view.

Overview

  • The 3.6-meter sculpture, titled “King of the World,” portrays President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein in a Titanic-style embrace near the U.S. Capitol.
  • Plaques beside the piece reference alleged social links between the men, and adjacent billboards include banners reading “Make America Safe Again.”
  • The Secret Handshake, which previously staged similar works in Washington, says the installations are short-lived and that it seeks National Park Service permission.
  • The artists describe the statues as foam, resin, wood and wire painted to resemble bronze.
  • Visitors were photographed at the site on Tuesday as interest in Epstein-related records persists following document releases in late 2025 and early 2026.
