The Putin And Trump Lip Lock Street Art Mural Seen Around The World.
By Artist Mindaugas Bonanu
Artist Mindaugas Bonanu depicted the two locking lips in the artwork featured on the side of a barbecue restaurant in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. Next to the painting is the phrase “Make everything great again,” a play on Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again.”

Restaurant owner Dominykas Čečkauskas said the provocative painting is “predicting that if Russia and the USA would ever make out, it would happen in the Baltic states … with tongues or with tanks.”
Čečkauskas said the art will remain on the wall of his restaurant for the next several months and that passers by have reacted positively. Many people have taken selfies with it in the background or have staged a similar smooch in front of the image.
