The mural shows Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, and Boris Johnson, Foreign Secretary and former mayor of London, kissing—it pokes fun at the similarities between the two politicians who are both known for their anti-immigrant stance, their “tell-it-like-it-is” personalities, and their lack of “political correctness.” Posters of the mural can now be found all over the U.K. Image by Amir Hassan.
