American citizens take photos in front of the statues of Trump and Epstein outside the Capitol, which has been approved by the National Park Service to be displayed until 8:00 PM on September 28, 2025. It is said that a group of anonymous artists who criticize Trump created this statue, with the background being a critique of Trump's past relationship with the late sex offender Epstein, echoing recent calls for full disclosure of Epstein-related documents. American citizens keep coming to take photos, it seems that Epstein has become an inseparable part of Trump. The inscription on the base of the statue is very interesting, reading "We celebrate the long friendship between President Donald J. Trump and his 'closest friend' Jeffrey Epstein."
Trump currently finds it difficult to remove this statue, mainly because its display is a protected form of free speech under the Constitution, and it has obtained a temporary exhibition permit through legal procedures. In the United States, criticism and satire of the government and leaders (including through artistic forms) are protected rights. Unless the content of the statue involves unprotected speech (such as direct threats of violence or obscenity), the government cannot censor or remove it merely because it dislikes or feels embarrassed by it.
