Statue of Trump and Epstein recreating famous Titanic scene appears in Washington

Visitors in Washington, D.C., most likely got a shock when walking on the National Mall yesterday. A new statue, picturing President Donald Trump and late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein as characters from the movie Titanic, in the capital has gone viral.

The statue, unveiled on March 10 on the National Mall, depicts Trump and Epstein recreating the iconic scene from Titanic, in which the characters Jack and Rose stand at the front of the ship with their arms outstretched. The sculpture is about 12 feet tall and painted gold, making it easy to spot from afar.

The two referencing the famous scene from Titanic where Jack and Rose seemed to fall in love at the ship’s bow. The film, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, was released in 1997.

In this particular scene, Leo screams, “I’m king of the world,” while holding Kate’s hands. Perhaps fittingly enough, the statue installation is called “KING OF THE WORLD,” picturing Trump and Epstein.

The president has been mentioned many times in the Epstein files and reportedly had a friendly relationship with the convicted sex trafficker. However, that Trump has done anything illegal has not been proven in a court of law.

On each side of the statue, there is a plaque. The text says, “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.”

Donald Trump has not yet commented on the statue. However, an organization called Secret Handshake has revealed that they are behind the statue. They told local news station WUSA9 that, besides the statue and the plaque, 10 banners nearby commemorate Trump and Epstein’s relationship.

“Why? Because 2026 has been a banner year for President Trump,” Secret Handshake told the outlet. “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.”

This is not the first time Secret Handshake has put up statues on the National Mall. In September last year, the organization was also behind the Trump-Epstein statue in bronze that showed up in September last year.

That time, it was quickly taken down by U.S. Park Police. The Titanic statue of Trump and the late sex offender is set to stay up until March 13.
