Secret Handshake group made Trump-Epstein statues and golden toilet on National Mall — Solid (85/100)

👌

- Golden toilet sculpture also installed there in 2019 as protest art.

Secret Handshake has new DC installation; Trump named Iran war 'Operation Epic Fury' — Sketchy (45/100)
At 0:21
New installation? Maybe — but 'Operation Epic Fury'? Pulled from thin air 💀🚩
Why this score: First part plausible, second claim unsubstantiated.
- Secret Handshake does frequent DC installations, and video title suggests a new game-related one, but no immediate confirmation of 'today's' piece.
- No record of Trump naming any Iran operation 'Epic Fury'; known ops were 'Martyr Soleimani' or similar — smells like satire exaggeration.
Original quote: “Well, today, the folks at Secret Handshake, whoever they are, they have a new installation in the nation's capital. Trump decided to call his war in Iran Operation Epic Fury,”
