The White House and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico on Wednesday, January 28, both denied a report that he had expressed concern about President Donald Trump’s mental health to other European leaders.

Politico, citing European diplomats, said that nationalist leader Fico had told counterparts at a summit last week that he was worried about the US leader’s “psychological state.” It also said Fico, a Trump ally, had used the word “dangerous” to describe how the US president came across when they met in Florida on January 17.

“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,” White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said in a statement to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

    We here in East have a common knowledge about how to translate whatever Kremlin says - just completely flip it around. If they say X is not going to happen, then X is going to happen. I even had an idea for a website called KremlinTranslator that does just that, but meh.

    My point was - it’s your turn Americans
