Trump And Putin Kiss Passionately On A Wall
Not that kind of wall.
A mural depicting Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin kissing spread across social media Friday, bringing worldwide attention to a BBQ restaurant in Lithuania responsible for the political masterpiece.
"We always believed that the small libertarian bbq joint situated on the NATO border with Russia will go viral one day," Keulė Rūkė, the restaurant, said in a Facebook post. The photo has been shared by hundreds of people since it was uploaded Thursday.
"The idea was to show two conservative leaders with huge egos finding comfort in each other," Dominykas Čečkauskas, co-owner of Keulė Rūkė BBQ shack in Vilnius, told BuzzFeed News.

"The point of the artwork is to show the creators' libertarian ironic attitude towards what's happening in the world right now," Čečkauskas said.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee and the Russian president have expressed mutual admiration for each other, with Putin endorsing Trump, who he described as "a really brilliant and talented person," for president. Trump has indicated that he would get along well with Putin who he's "always had a good feeling about."
