Russians have discovered that Trump is descended from the ancient royal dynasty of the Russian tsars. No, seriously.
Russian poets are composing laudatory odes dedicated to Trump. No, it’s not a joke.
Unlike the American Trump supporters, the Russians are genuinely, radiantly happy.

The Google automatic English translation of the Russian text — I assume that’s what it is — is beyond nonsensical. If can can provide a reasonable translation of what actually occurred, please enlighten Clarissa’s readers.

With only minimal knowledge of Russian and with only my translator’s wiles to guide me…. this is my version
Want ’em my wife – take ’em my wife, want ’em him wife, take ’em him wife
(I’m thinking the headline is supposed to sound like some kind of pidgin since the nouns and adjectives aren’t declined)
Previously on Santa Barbara (soap opera):
Israeli bent over backwards to please the eminent Russian guest (premier Dmitry Medvedev), who was visiting the Research Institute of Agriculture. Seeing Medvedev’s admiration of the unmanned (drone?), the Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel gave the helicopter to the guest without asking its owner – the Institute. Underlings immediately wrapped up the toy and sent it along forgetting to include the computer and software that control it.
The institute values these things at about half the price of the set, that is about 100 thousand shekels. And it’s not handing them over. The government is boiling mad and yelling “rape(crossed out)… diplomatic scandal!”
Charming scoundrels. Everyone in this story.
