I mean, it's the act of servicing an evil person when you would claim that such acts of service or companionship are antithetical to you and your leadership style. If he were serving Putin tea or cleaning his shoes the message would be similar. It is a depiction of the leader of the US serving and servicing the leader of Russia. Or just US serving Russia. Sucking dick isn't weak but it is often used as a symbol of power (in art and in reality) especially when the people involved aren't in an established healthy relationship.

In a healthy relationship or a power balanced hook-up it can be as pleasurable for the giver as the recipient but that isn't always what we're looking at, so as a society it is more recognized as an establishment of power rather than equitable.
