On Tuesday, a golden statue depicting Epstein with arms outstretched as the president holds him from behind in what appears to be a loving embrace was installed in front of the National Mall.

The piece pays homage to an iconic scene from the movie Titanic, where the character Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, realizes he has fallen for Rose, played by Kate Winslet.

At the base of the statue, a plaque reads, "The tragic love story between Jack and Rose was built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches. This monument honors the bond between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, a friendship seemingly built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches."

According to The Washington Post, the statue was erected by The Secret Handshake, a collective of anonymous activists that has put up similar statues in the past after receiving proper permits to do so from the National Park Service.

Last September, the group installed a "friendship statue" that depicted Trump and Epstein frolicking and holding hands.

Though it was removed by Capitol Police without explanation, the group reinstalled a similar statue the following month.
