A new satirical statue titled “King of the World” has been installed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It portrays President Donald Trump standing behind Jeffrey Epstein as Epstein’s arms are raised in a Titanic-style T-pose, echoing a famous movie scene. created by the art collective Secret Handshake, this is part of their ongoing mockery of the Trump-Epstein friendship, following an earlier statue that depicted them holding hands. The statue features a plaque that riffes on Jack and Rose from titanic, shifting from the film’s tragedy too joking references about nude sketches and the pair’s travels. White House officials dismissed the statue,questioning why democrats would not be similarly depicted for their alleged ties to Epstein. The display was approved for a limited run (until Friday) and accompanied by banners and other protest art, including a giant replica of Epstein’s supposed birthday card from Trump that visitors were invited to sign. The piece underscores ongoing satirical art by the Secret Handshake group and required coordination with the National Park Service for a permit.


Newest Trump-Epstein statue in DC recreates Titanic’s ‘King of the World’ pose

Another statue of President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has been erected on the National Mall.

The newest statue, spotted on Tuesday, features the president standing behind Epstein as he lifts Epstein’s arms into a T-pose, recreating an iconic moment from the 1997 Titanic film. It’s the latest depiction of the two men’s relationship from the group Secret Handshake, which set up another statue depicting them holding hands as they skip in September 2025.

The statue is called “King of the World,” and has a plaque with satirical messaging referencing the love story between Jack and Rose, the couple in Titanic. Just as this famous scene played out and the movie was filled with nude sketches, the plaque pivots from the tragic love story to identical wording about Trump and Epstein’s nude sketches and travels.

“This monument honors the bond between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, a friendship seemingly built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches,” the plaque reads.

The Secret Handshake group has also set up multiple banners showing Trump and Epstein standing together, according to WUSA9.

“Why? Because 2026 has been a banner year for President Trump,” the group told the outlet. “Meaning … he’s added giant banners of his face to federal buildings all across DC. We want to help him on his mission by tossing a few of our own in the mix.”

The White House dismissed the statue in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

“When will these wealthy Democrat donors create sculptures of Democrats – like [Rep.] Stacey Plaskett and [House Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries – who continued to solicit money and meetings from Epstein after he was convicted as a sex offender?” the statement read.

The newest statue is approved for display until Friday.

Secret Handshake also set up a giant replica of the alleged birthday card Epstein received from Trump in 2003. A nearby display encouraged onlookers to sign the card and send their own message to the Trump administration.

The Washington Examiner contacted the National Park Service for the statue’s permit.
