President Donald Trump has hung banners of his face all over Washington, D.C., including in front of the Justice Department and Labor Department. But as of Tuesday, there’s a new artistic tribute to him in the city.

A 12-foot statue of Trump embracing the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has gone up near the U.S. Capitol, depicting Trump embracing the pedophile from behind in a pose made famous by the fictional lovers Jack and Rose in the film “Titanic.”

The statue, erected by a group known as The Secret Handshake, also features a placard that states: “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.”

The latter is a reference to a racy birthday card for Epstein that seemingly bears Trump’s signature. (The card, with its sketch of what appeared to be a girl’s body, was the subject of a different installation by The Secret Handshake last year.) Trump has denied authoring the card.

Flanking the statue are several 10-foot banners featuring a photo of Trump and Epstein. In a nod to the Justice Department’s heavy-handed redactions in its documents about Epstein, the banners also include an image resembling a federal agency logo — except part of the agency name is redacted.

Why the banners?

The Secret Handshake said it’s simple, really.

“Because 2026 has been a banner year for President Trump. 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 group said.

Trump has not been able to kill the Epstein story and has claimed that the files that have been released about the dead financier have absolved him of any wrongdoing.

But major questions still loom.

This week, the Justice Department released three FBI interview summaries tied to allegations about Trump and Epstein that were previously withheld from the public.

The interviews contain unsubstantiated allegations from a woman who claims Epstein introduced her to Trump in the mid-1980s when she was 13 years old and that Trump sexually assaulted her.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
