- The installation, created by the anonymous artist group Secret Handshake, highlights the relationship between Trump and Epstein, referencing Trump’s past description of Epstein as a “terrific guy” and including the phrase “may every day be another wonderful secret.”
- The White House criticized the display, accusing Democrats of spreading fake news and soliciting funds from Epstein, while Trump denied creating or signing the drawing, which was part of documents subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee
