So the Russian shill is right with this example. How does Putin feel about this opinion?

It incorrectly describes the US as an oligarchy, which (at least under Democratic leadership) it's not. However, Putin is trying to turn the US into a politically captured fascist puppet oligarchy like Belarus under Lukashenka, or Norway under Quisling, under the rule of his proxy Trump.. So Putin loves that opinion

Although economic elites do have significant influence in certain areas of policy-making, that influence is usually concentrated through the Republican party, which is basically the oligarchy party.. So it's no surprise that they're puppeteered by Putin. Russia constantly tries to paint the US as an oligarchy while turning us into one

So again, Putin loves that opinion
