To be even more objective, I asked the AI Gemnii about the logical matter. Gemini introduces some more nuances into the issues, but the take-home I see is that it is not such a straightforward issue and all depends on the context. Such details are lost when political opponents use words as propaganda against an adversary. Not considering context has always been particularly true of Mr. Trump's opponents.

Calling someone smart can be a simple statement of recognition, but it can also carry undertones of admiration or even envy. It all depends on the context and the relationship between the speaker and the listener.
If the speaker knows the person well and has observed their intelligence firsthand, calling them smart is likely a genuine expression of admiration for their abilities. However, if the speaker is less familiar with the person or is speaking in a more formal setting, it could be a more neutral observation.
Additionally, the way the statement is delivered can also influence its meaning. A simple, matter-of-fact statement of "You're smart" might be taken as a straightforward observation, while a more emphatic or exaggerated statement might be seen as a stronger expression of admiration or even flattery.
Ultimately, the meaning behind the statement is subjective and can only be truly understood by considering the specific context and relationship between the speaker and the listener.
