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.

Speaking of Trump's health, this story in NY Magazine will make you laugh -- and cry. Here's the lede:

When I arrived at the Oval Office in December to talk to Donald Trump about his health, the president was standing next to a couple of men clutching pieces of paper labeled TALKING POINTS.

"These are two doctors," Trump told me before I could ask a question. "And by the way, I don't know them, they're not my best friends. They're respected doctors that practice out of Walter Reed. And they happen to be taking care of me for anything -- but I don't need any taking care of because I'm in perfect health. I do purposely every year or less a physical, because I think the American people should know that the president is healthy so you don't get a guy like the last one, who was the worst thing that ever happened to older people. Because I know people in their 90s that are 100 percent. Gary Player is 90 years old. He shot 70 with me the other day."

It wasn't only the doctors with ABSURD talking points. Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller and every single person he spoke with sounded like they were one of the brainwashed soldiers in "The Manchurian Candidate."
