Overview

• The installation features a gold-painted television set playing a silent, 15-second loop of President Trump’s slow-motion dance intercut with footage of him alongside Jeffrey Epstein.
• A plaque beneath the sculpture quotes White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson on Americans’ freedom to display “ugly” art.
• The National Park Service approved the exhibit through a permit filed under the name Mary Harris without contact details for the applicant.
• White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson denounced the artists as “liberal activists masquerading as ‘artists’” and said she had tricked them into replacing their previous installation with the television sculpture.
• The artwork follows an earlier “Dictator Approved” statue on the Mall and remains unattributed, extending a pattern of anonymously installed political art on federal grounds.
