lol, keep streisanding the shit out of trump and his bff, epstein.

The statue, titled “Best Friends Forever,” first appeared on September 23 on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., accompanied by a plaque that read: “We celebrate the long-lasting bond between President Donald J. Trump and his ‘closest friend,’ Jeffrey Epstein.”

The statue was returned to the anonymous artists last Thursday and has since been restored, The Washington Post reports. It’s now back on the National Mall after D.C.-based location manager Carol Flaisher applied for another permit on behalf of the artists, according to The Washington Post. That new permit from the National Park Service reportedly went into effect at noon on Thursday.
