BRUSSELS ― Slovakia’s prime minister told EU leaders at a summit last week that a meeting with Donald Trump left him shocked by the U.S. president’s state of mind, five European diplomats briefed on the conversation said.

Robert Fico, one of the few EU leaders to frequently support Trump’s stance on Europe’s weaknesses, was concerned about the U.S. president’s “psychological state,” two of the diplomats said. Fico used the word “dangerous” to describe how the U.S. president came across during their face-to-face meeting at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida on Jan. 17, according to two of the diplomats.

The conversation between Fico and his European counterparts took place in Brussels on Jan. 22 on the sidelines of an emergency EU summit arranged to discuss transatlantic relations in the wake of Trump’s threats to seize Greenland. Leaders used that gathering to try to calm tensions after the U.S. president walked back his threat to slap tariffs on some European countries over the issue a day earlier.

The Slovak prime minister made his remarks in a separate informal huddle between some leaders and chief EU officials rather than during the formal roundtable talks, the diplomats said. While none of the diplomats who spoke to POLITICO were present, individual leaders briefed them separately on the content of the conversation shortly after it.

4. The thing here is that Fico is described as a "Trump ally" (as you might expect from a Mar-a-Lago meeting)

This is a supporter saying he's gone beyond rescue.

8. At this point in time, anyone saying they are shocked about what Deranged Donnie does is an idiot.

2. He's nuckin' futs.

3. Trump's upcoming SOTU address (scheduled 2/24/2026) will be quite revealing.

I might tune in just to watch the Sergeant at Arms throwing a net over a visibly unhinged Trump and dragging him away.

5. Trump will be pumped full of drugs and fitted with leg supports so he can stand and perform for the press and his cult.

He rarely makes any sense so no one will be surprised at his old tropes that are all his demented brain remembers—stolen election, best economy in decades, ended 8 mythical wars but mean Nobel people refused him the prize, and on and on.

7. Yes, but will the Dems handle it properly?

There are only two strategies:

1) Boycott, and hold a press conference trashing Trump's criminal acts.

2) Show up, and heckle him unmercifully every time he lies. Call him a child rapist. Call him a liar. Call him racist. Trump CANNOT handle that kind of situation and would melt down on live TV.

Unfortunately, our leaders are hidebound to custom and "collegiality".

10. Ask him when he'll release the Epstein files. Have Sascha Riley in the front row with other Epstein survivors.

12. Why not yell "YOU LIE!"

at him.
Ya know! Like the way they treated President Obama at his State Of The Union address.
I bet Trump would go into a complete fit.

15. I want Nancy back

in her white suit tearing up the hard copy of the SOTU speech behind tRump. My favorite political moment of all time.

6. Politico sanewashing:

Politico’s description of a recent Trump interview:

Trump, 79, has repeatedly and forcefully denied that he suffers from any condition affecting his cognition, telling New York Magazine this week that he doesn’t suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.

Actual transcript of the interview as reported by People magazine:

"He had one problem," Trump, 79, said of his father in the interview. “At a certain age, about 86, 87, he started getting, what do they call it?”

Terris wrote that Trump then pointed to his head and turned to press secretary Karoline Leavitt to prompt him.

“Alzheimer’s,” Leavitt said.

“Like an Alzheimer’s thing,” Trump agreed. “Well, I don’t have it... I don’t think about it at all. You know why? Because whatever it is, my attitude is whatever."

9. --and we're 'spose'ta care, what the dictator of some shithole country thinks about our president?

.

























Yes, Wilbur, don't get upset. It's sarcasm.

[rubbersole]

16. *neigh*... "Wilbuurrrr"...*neigh*

My favorite Mr. Ed quote - which I use every week. When one of my golf buddies makes a good shot, usually costing me a few quarters, they'll get my highest form of praise - "Wilbuurrr...*neigh*... *double foot stomp*."
(The youngsters have to get an explanation.)

11. Politico. Meh.

13. They should be more alarmed that Trump's family and advisors allow him to carry on with the nonsense

The fact that they don't try to stop him tells you they don't care about Trump or the country. They're all either being blackmailed or they're along for the grift, or both. That indicates that this will only get worse and even when they get Vance in the white house two in 4-6 months, they may not be dealing with Trump's family anymore but the same kleptocrats and blackmailes Russian assets will be directing US policy.

Trump let his father waste away at the Trump org while he was probably embezzling before he even got the rest of the money. The only thing he cared about. His family is like him now and the cabinet are being blackmailed, and people like Hasset and Navarro are along to profit off of insider knowledge like when trump is going to play tariff whack-a-mole. Miller is just a trusted NAZI.

14. How long do you let this go on Republicans

Why do you hate the United States so much Republicans?
