Controversial Statue of Trump and Epstein Removed from National Mall

A satirical statue depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein holding hands, titled ‘Best Friends Forever,’ was quickly removed from the National Mall after appearing unexpectedly. The 12-foot statue, placed near the Capitol by an anonymous art collective, sparked controversy and raised questions about free speech and public art. Federal authorities, including the U.S. Park Police, dismantled the statue less than a day after its installation, citing concerns over permits and public reaction. This provocative artwork has ignited discussions regarding the relationship between the two figures and their implications in contemporary society.
