Secret Handshake Installs Mocking Trump Statue on National Mall

An anonymous artist collective called the Secret Handshake installed a gilded statue titled 'The Foot Soldier' on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Monday. The installation mocks Donald Trump for avoiding the Vietnam War draft in 1968 through a bone spurs diagnosis.

The statue depicts the president rubbing his bare foot and includes a six-foot-tall mascot named 'Toey.' A plaque on the installation sarcastically describes Trump as a 'soldier in spirit' who 'marched to the front lines of dodging the draft.' The Secret Handshake, which has previously produced art mocking Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein, stated the piece will remain in place through Veterans Day.

White House spokesperson David Ingle dismissed the installation as a product of 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' caused by 'Democrat activists.'
