This might get you started:
$ cat temp.py
import re
x = ("Trump is $ the president of USA % Obama was $ the pres"
"ident of USA % Putin is $ the premier of Russia%")
for y in re.finditer(r"(?P<first>[^\$]*)\$(?P<second>[^%]*)%", x):
print("'{0}' -- '{1}'".format(y.group("first"), y.group("second")))
$ python3 temp.py
'Trump is ' -- ' the president of USA '
' Obama was ' -- ' the president of USA '
' Putin is ' -- ' the premier of Russia'
