White House seethes as sculpture shows Trump dancing with Epstein - who are the artists?
A provocative art installation has raised eyebrows in D.C., and not just among tourists. A mysterious gold-sprayed TV on the National Mall that plays a video of Donald Trump dancing next to Jeffrey Epstein has appeared near the Capitol. While it has captured public attention, the White House is extremely infuriated. What does the White House say? A mysterious gold "television" installation in front of the Capitol that shows a video of Donald Trump dancing shoulder-to-shoulder with child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was put up, as per a report by the Daily Beast. Officials call it tasteless, but the creators argue it is free speech. The artist's identity is unknown, which adds to the intrigue by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50! Lulutox Undo Abigail Jackson, a press assistant, unleashed on the unnamed creators. She told The Washington Post, "Wow, these liberal activists masquerading as 'artists,' are dumber than I thought." "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!,' as per a report. Live Events "Perhaps they will incorporate this into their next sculpture," she concluded. Who made the sculpture and why? Unknown artists created the installation, which is allowed to remain until Sunday. It is located where the anti-Trump statue "Dictator Approved" from last week caused a similar uproar. The new piece reinforces the administration's own statements and includes a 15-second loop of Trump's father dancing, not just with the late, disgraced financier. A plaque mocks officials who now complain about being made fun of by quoting the White House's assertion last week that Americans are free to exhibit "so-called 'art,' no matter how ugly it is,' as per a report by the Daily Beast. ALSO READ: Canadian outrage erupts after citizen dies in ICE custody - Carney vs Trump tensions boil over The stunt has been well-liked by tourists and, according to its National Park Service filing, aims "to demonstrate freedom of speech and artistic expression using political imagery." Who the artists are is still a mystery in the art world. A "Mary Harris," but no contact information, is listed on the National Park Service permit. Art detectives believe the name is a reference to labor icon Mary Harris "Mother" Jones, who was well-known for upending the establishment a century ago. It implies that the pranksters consider themselves to be her descendants in the twenty-first century. Since autumn, similar unsigned but stylistically similar bronze tiki torches and tableaux depicting poop on Pelosi desks have inexplicably surfaced in Portland, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. The golden TV appeared where the eight-foot statue "Dictator Approved," which featured a Trumpian thumbs-up stomping Lady Liberty's crown, had been placed the week before. The initial White House outburst regarding "so-called 'art'' was sparked by that earlier piece, which quoted authoritarian leaders applauding Trump. What's Donald Trump's link to Epstein? For many years, people have been talking about Trump's relationship with financier Epstein. Trump was on Epstein's jet seven times, according to flight logs from his trial, and he socialized with Epstein in the 1990s. Elon Musk recently apologized for going too far when he said that Trump was in the Epstein files, which he later removed. Trump's relationship with Epstein is an important aspect of his personal life and is not arbitrary. FAQs Is Donald Trump really dancing with Epstein in the video? No, it's a looped video of Trump next to Epstein, used symbolically as part of the artwork. Who created the Trump-Epstein sculpture? The artists remain anonymous, but the listed name "Mary Harris" is most likely a reference to activist Mother Jones.
