Headline says Trump praises Putin. In the article the only quote from Trump is Putin is smart. Is that praise? That is like saying Aaron Rodgers is good at football. So stupid and disappointed in CNN

Yes, that is praise. At times one can praise/admire ones enemies (ie the Brits and Rommel) and not be supportive, but given the timing and previous history (of Trump interactions with Putin) it does lend to the perception that Trump is supportive of Putin. (Frankly I think he actually is supportive of Putin).
