Best Friends Forever (also known as Why Can't We Be Friends?) is a statue of US president Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, briefly installed at the National Mall in downtown Washington, D.C., on September 23, 2025. Created by an anonymous art group known by the alias "The Secret Handshake", the sculpture was created in protest of the relationship of Trump and Epstein and the closely associated sexual misconduct allegations against Trump. The sculpture had permits to stay on display until September 28, but was dismantled by the United States Park Police within 24 hours of installation. The statue was temporarily reinstalled on the National Mall from October 2 to 5, 2025, and reappeared outside a Northwest Washington, D.C., Busboys and Poets coffeehouse in November 2025.
