Trump has never been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

Umm, hello?

I really hate clickbaity headlines. It didn't mysteriously reappear.

The group that installed it the first time had the statue returned to them after it was removed. They restored it since it was damaged during removal. They then put in another application to have it displayed on the mall, and after that was approved they installed it the same as last time.

All of this is in the article, and calling it mysterious is just misleading and stupid.

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.
