President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin showed up together at an annual pride parade in the Netherlands — but the appearance was wildly inflated.

The two leaders, depicted in a large parade float, were shown locking lips as “The Kissing Couple” Saturday during the Amsterdam Pride Canal Parade, photos showed.

Trump and Putin were shown leaning in for a smooch while holding flowers behind their backs.

The floats showed Putin in overalls and Trump in a dress; Trump also had a bit of a rockabilly-style haircut going.

A bunch of Pride partiers dancing to electronic music and waving signs surrounded the pair as they slowly sailed down one of Amsterdam’s canals.

The Associated Press reported:

The two figures, dressed in Delft blue and white costumes and each clutching a tulip, leaned toward one another for a kiss, in the style of pottery figurines that are a staple of tourist souvenir stores throughout the Netherlands.

The group that created the boat said on its website said they re-imagined the symbol of love and unity “not to provoke, but to pause power for a moment and highlight something human.”

Trump being a starry eyed stooge for Putin has been a running theme for many of the president’s haters over the past decade.

Stephen Colbert infamously joked back in 2017 that the “only thing” Trump’s “mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c*ck holster;” he made plenty of other quips about Trump being beholden to Putin over the years.

And Rosie O’Donnell — perhaps Trump’s oldest enemy — has made several claims Trump works for Putin. Last year she branded Trump a Russian “asset,” “spy,” and a “traitor” to America.

The people who created the floats were apparently too busy working on their inflatables to catch the news last month Trump said the USA would show Ukraine how to build “elite” military weapons to use against Russia in their ongoing war.

Trump made the announcement while speaking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at a NATO Summit in Turkey.
