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.

A bizarre sculpture depicting Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein mid-dance appeared on the National Mall, sparking confusion and a tidal wave of online reactions.

Many users took the opportunity to mock the display.

“Only boosts Trump’s aura,” one user wrote.



 

Skeptics questioned the narrative around the statue’s origins: “All those cameras in DC, and a mystery? Nope.”



 

“Mystery artists? This is clearly highly financed and associated with politically influential individuals. Not a mystery,” one commented.



 

Others criticized the perceived motivations behind the piece, with one saying, “Trump haters normally destroy statues so it's better for them to create statues to express that hatred.”



 

“Liberals have gone full blown retarded,” another user wrote.
