Slovakia’s Prime Minister, known for his support of Donald Trump, shared concerns about the US President’s mental state with other EU leaders. Robert Fico, a vocal supporter of Trump’s criticisms of the EU, expressed worries about Trump’s “psychological state” after a recent meeting at Mar-a-Lago in Florida on January 17 according to European diplomats.
During an informal gathering in Brussels on January 22, Fico described Trump as “dangerous” based on their face-to-face interaction. The meeting was arranged to discuss Trump’s controversial remarks about acquiring Greenland. Reports from European diplomats present at the conversation revealed Fico’s unease and concerns about Trump’s behavior, with one diplomat mentioning Fico seemed “traumatised” by the encounter.
In response to these claims, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly dismissed the reports as “total fake news” originating from anonymous European diplomats. She emphasized that the meeting at Mar-a-Lago was positive and productive, contrary to the alleged concerns raised by Fico.
Despite Fico’s public support for Trump, concerns about the US President’s mental stability are reportedly growing among European leaders and officials. Speculations about Trump’s health and mental acuity have become more prevalent, with fears about his unpredictability and well-being being discussed at various political levels.
Trump, however, has vehemently denied any cognitive impairment or health issues, including Alzheimer’s disease, in a recent interview published by New York Magazine on January 26. The ongoing discussions surrounding Trump’s mental state continue to be a point of interest among European leaders and officials.
