COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A street artist in Lithuania has adorned a barbecue restaurant with a poster showing Donald Trump locking lips with Vladimir Putin. Restaurant owner Dominykas Ceckauskas said Saturday the presumptive U.S. Republican presidential nominee and the Russian president both have huge egos "and they seem to get along pretty well." He said the image is "an ironic view of what can be expected." Local artist Mindaugas Bonanu created the wheat paste poster for the eatery in the capital Vilnius on Friday. It's on the outside of the Keule Ruke restaurant— Lithuanian for "Smoking Pig" — along with the text "Make Everything Great Again" — a play on Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again." Ceckauskas said the poster was a nod to a 1979 photograph of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev kissing East German ally Erich Honecker on the mouth — once a customary greeting between Socialist leaders. The iconic shot was later painted on the Berlin Wall. Read more: www.timesunion.com/news/world/article/Lithuanian-eatery-puts-up-poster-of-Trump-Putin-7468573.php
