It portrays President Donald Trump standing behind Jeffrey Epstein as Epstein\u2019s 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\u2019s tragedy too joking references about nude sketches and the pair\u2019s travels. White House officials dismissed the statue,questioning why democrats would not be similarly depicted for their alleged ties to Epstein.
