There’s a new statue on the east end of the National Mall for Washington DC residents and tourists to enjoy, showing two men frolicking, grinning wide and holding hands, each with a foot joyously kicked back.

“We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein,” a plaque at the bottom of the bronze-sprayed installation reads. A permit from the National Park Service will allow the statue to stay on the National Mall grounds through 8pm on Sunday.
