Most recently, we have the billboard featuring Donald Trump and Ted Cruz:

I rather doubt whether Putin, Johnson, or Cruz actually harbor any love for Trump, be it romantic, platonic, or (geo)political. That said, there remains a certain joy to be had in seeing homophobic and xenophobic men openly celebrating any sort of love, even in the form of artistically licentious slashfic.
