"The Guardian newspaper initially wrote that Putin called Trump “bright,” but then revised its item with this explanation: “An earlier version quoted Putin as saying ‘bright and talented.’ To clarify: The word he used was ‘yarkii’ (яркий), which can mean bright or brilliant, but not in the sense of intelligent; it can also be translated as colorful, vivid or flamboyant.”"
Putin Did Not Call Trump a ‘Genius’
They are translating Russian. Bright means shiney in all languages but it doesn't mean smart in all languages.
