Trump Ally Expresses Private Concerns Over President's 'Dangerous' Mental State
One of Donald Trump's most prominent European allies has privately voiced serious concerns about the US President's psychological condition, describing it as 'dangerous' according to diplomatic sources. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, who met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago last week, reportedly expressed these worries to fellow European politicians during discussions in Brussels.
Diplomatic Revelations From Mar-a-Lago Meeting
Five anonymous European diplomats have revealed to Politico that Fico used the term 'dangerous' when describing how President Trump communicated with him during their Florida encounter. The Slovak leader raised these concerns during a January 22nd meeting in Brussels, where European officials gathered to address Trump's escalating threats regarding Greenland.
Although Fico did not formally present his apprehensions about Trump's mental state in official proceedings, diplomatic sources indicate he appeared genuinely troubled when speaking privately with other EU politicians. This revelation carries particular weight given Fico's established reputation as one of Trump's strongest supporters within Europe.
White House Dismisses Claims as 'Fake News'
The White House responded swiftly and forcefully to these reports, with spokeswoman Anna Kelly telling Politico: 'This is absolutely total fake news from anonymous European diplomats who are trying to be relevant. The meeting at Mar-a-Lago was positive and productive.'
The gathering at Trump's Florida estate, while not an official diplomatic meeting, was attended by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Slovakia's Foreign Minister. Following the encounter, Fico publicly stated that he and Trump found themselves in 'complete agreement' regarding their shared view that the European Union faces a 'deep crisis.'
Fico's Political Background and Current Position
Robert Fico's political journey has been marked by significant events:
- Previously served as Slovak Prime Minister from 2006-2010 and 2012-2018
- Survived an assassination attempt in 2024, being shot five times
- Resigned in 2018 following public outrage over journalist Ján Kuciak's murder
- Founded the Direction – Social Democracy party (SMER-SD) in 1999
Since returning to power, Fico has formed a Eurosceptic coalition government that has pursued closer relations with the Kremlin while urging Ukraine to negotiate peace with Russia. His administration has taken controversial steps including shutting down Slovakia's anti-corruption office, prompting both domestic protests and international concern about democratic safeguards.
Fico's private concerns about Trump's psychological state represent a notable development given their previous political alignment on numerous contentious issues. The Slovak leader has frequently praised the American President and supported many of his controversial positions, making his reported apprehensions particularly significant within European diplomatic circles.
