White House seethes as Trump and Jeffrey Epstein dance statue mysteriously appears on National Mall

WASHINGTON, DC: A provoca­tive new art instal­la­tion near the US Capi­tol is turn­ing heads and ignit­ing fury with­in the Trump White House.

The instal­la­tion was a shiny gold tele­vi­sion screen, end­less­ly play­ing a bizarre, 15-sec­ond clip of Don­ald Trump danc­ing in close step with Jef­frey Epstein.

White House erupts in anger over ‘ugly sculp­ture’

The anony­mous instal­la­tion, which popped up this week under a per­mit from the Nation­al Park Ser­vice, is sched­uled to remain through Sun­day. It fol­lows on the heels of anoth­er con­tro­ver­sial piece titled “Dic­ta­tor Approved,” a sculp­ture that last week depict­ed Trump crush­ing Lady Liberty’s crown with a thumbs-up ges­ture, and drew imme­di­ate crit­i­cism from admin­is­tra­tion offi­cials.

White House press aide Abi­gail Jack­son lashed out in a state­ment to The Wash­ing­ton Post, label­ing the artists “lib­er­al activists mas­querad­ing as ‘artists’” and mock­ing their intent.

Wow, these lib­er­al activists mas­querad­ing as ‘artists,’ are dumb­er than I thought,” she told, adding, “I’ve tricked them into tak­ing down their ugly sculp­ture and replac­ing it with a beau­ti­ful video of the President’s leg­endary dance moves that will bring joy and inspi­ra­tion to all tourists tra­vers­ing our Nation­al Mall. Thank you for your atten­tion to this mat­ter!”

Jack­son con­clud­ed, say­ing, “Maybe they will put this on their next sculp­ture.” 

At its base, a plaque cheek­i­ly wrote the White House’s recent defense of artis­tic free­dom, quot­ing its state­ment that Amer­i­cans have the right to share “so-called ‘art,’ no mat­ter how ugly it is.”

Identity of the artist behind anti-Trump sculptures remains unknown

The cre­ator behind the con­tro­ver­sial sculp­tures remains anony­mous. 

How­ev­er, a per­mit filed with the Nation­al Park Ser­vice reveals the intent behind the project “to demon­strate free­dom of speech and artis­tic expres­sion using polit­i­cal imagery,” accord­ing to The Wash­ing­ton Post.
