The story is about Putin's press conference. During the course of this press conference, Putin had a variety of seemingly positive remarks to make on the subject of Trump.
I am in no way prepared to attempt to unpack everything going on in this, not least because I'm pretty sure sarcasm rarely survives translation, so I can't be sure of what Putin really meant. It is, however, at least on the surface, wildly hilarious.
ETA: In unrelated news, YES, Adelson bought that paper in Nevada. Also, the guy with hair on All Due Respect can't pronounce Nevada correctly. Dude's like a live action cartoon of himself. (Yes, I know what his name is.)
