The budding bromance between Trump and Putin were enough to inspire Lithuanian street artist, Mindaugas Bonanu to create a mural of the pair sharing a sizzling kiss.

For one, both men are not shy about saying exactly what's on their mind, politically correct or not and both men have egos the size of Russia and the US combined.
It is no wonder that the pair got along pretty well, and had a bromance of some sort going on until Trump featured Putin in an election campaign video, which a Kremlin spokesman said “demonized” their country.
The similarities and bromance were enough to inspire Lithuanian street artist, Mindaugas Bonanu to create a mural of the pair sharing a sizzling kiss.

The mural was done on the side of the Keule Ruke barbecue joint, in Lithuania’s capital Vilnius, alongside the caption of “make everything great again.”
The piece has since gone viral after the eatery’s co-owner, Dominykas Čečkauskas, unveiled it, even as locals show up to pose beside it.
Bonanu’s satirical piece is a riff on “My God, Help Me To Survive This Deadly Love” graffiti, which Dmitri Vrubel painted on the side of the Berlin Wall in 1990.
The piece had depicted former Soviet leader, Leonid Brezhnev kissing East German leader, Erich Honecker, and is itself a take on the “Socialist Fraternal Kiss“ photograph, taken some 11 years earlier, which showed the pair embracing and kissing each other on the lips.
Speaking with the Baltic News Service, Čečkauskas justified the photo saying, “they both have an ego that is too big, and it is funny that they get along well, we are in a sort of a Cold War again, and America may get a president who will want to be friends with Russia.”

Trump is not new to murals which have poked fun at him, earlier in the year, artist, Illma Gore created a nude painting of Trump with a very tiny penis.
