Secret Handshake art collective mocks Trump with National Mall installation
A plaque says the trophy recognizes Trump’s “enthusiastic involvement in the Iran War” and his “courage to participate regardless of the final score.”
The anonymous art collective Secret Handshake installed a 10-foot-tall, gold-colored "Iran War Participation Trophy" on the National Mall on Monday, mocking US President Donald Trump's involvement in the Iran war. The trophy, located near the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial bookstore, features a "#1" and the word "Participant," with a plaque recognizing Trump's "enthusiastic involvement in the Iran War." A second plaque invites the public to leave their own trophies for Trump. White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly dismissed the artists, stating they should "refrain from weighing in on foreign policy" and defending the administration's actions in the war. This installation follows Trump's receipt of FIFA's inaugural Peace Prize and preliminary approval for a triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery. The Secret Handshake has previously created other satirical works targeting Trump, including sculptures depicting him with Jeffrey Epstein and a golden toilet.
