Trump Iran War Video Game Artwork Appears on National Mall

A video game critiquing the Trump administration’s efforts to continue the US and Israel’s war in Iran has popped up on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., making it the latest anti-Trump artwork to appear in a public space in the nation’s capital. As was the case with many of those other artworks, the creator of this one is the Secret Handshake, a group of anonymous artists who have previously produced objects alluding to Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, among other topics.

Included alongside their portraits are quotations from their speeches and some of Trump’s Truth Social posts.
