Trump-Epstein Hand-Holding Statue Gets Rapid DMV-Style Boot
On a crisp Wednesday morning, a 12-foot bronze spectacle titled 'Best Friends Forever'âfeaturing President Trump clutching Jeffrey Epstein's handâwas unceremoniously yanked off the National Mall in Washington, D.C. after barely 24 hours of unsanctioned public bonding. Despite holding a permit through Sunday at 8pm ET, the Department of Interior, via spokesperson Elizabeth Peace, cryptically declared it 'not compliant' without elaborationâas if the mere sight was a natural disqualifier. The anonymous 'Secret Handshake Project', who apparently believe in Parks Department pretense, claimed promised 24-hour notice vanished faster than trust in conspiracy theories. Officialsâ silence echoes louder than Trump-Epstein bromance itself. Welcome to America's finest bureaucratic magic trick: removal without notice.

Nothing screams 'national treasure' like a spray-painted giant Trump and Epstein statue, hastily removed before the weekend. Permit? Compliance? Just county-level parking ticket drama with world leaders, folks.
They say the statue had a permit till Sunday night but was booted Wednesday? Classic National Mall: Where you get 24/7 migraines, not 24-hours notice.
If this statueâs removal had a user agreement, itâd say 'Warranty void if fingers are held in suspicious handshake.'
