The giant installation has drawn attention since it was first spotted on Monday, with passersby stopping to read the lengthy inscription on the mock award.
“As the recipient of this prestigious award, President Trump joins the ranks of children everywhere who received recognition for simply showing up,” the plaque continues.
In an emailed statement to TIME, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said: “These untalented ‘artists’ should stick to their ugly ‘art’ and refrain from weighing in on foreign policy—which they clearly know nothing about, given the fact that the United States military achieved all of its objectives during Operation Epic Fury.”

The satirical statue comes amid discord in D.C., with Democratic lawmakers rallying against Trump’s decision to resume the Iran war. The U.S. and Iran continue to trade strikes over the Strait of Hormuz, after Trump declared the interim cease-fire agreement signed on June 17 as “over.”
Both the House of Representatives and the Senate passed War Powers Act resolutions last month aimed to restrict Trump from continuing the war.
Senate Democrats further showcased their objection to the resumption of the war by blocking an annual defense policy bill on Tuesday. With a vote of 50-46, the National Defense Authorization Act fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance.

The statue depicted a golden hand giving a thumbs up and crushing the head of the Statue of Liberty.
In September, a sculpture depicting the President holding hands with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein appeared outside the U.S. Capitol.
The sculpture appeared amid growing calls for Congress to release the full Epstein files. At the time, Trump's former relationship with the offender proved to be a key point of contention in the discourse.
