Natalie Harp, the executive assistant to US President Donald Trump, has been accused of editing herself into a photograph with him. The image, posted on Trump's social media network, originally featured Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley standing with Trump on an airport runway alongside Chinese President Xi Jinping.
In the version shared on Trump's social media, Crowley's appearance appears to have been altered to resemble Harp. The original photo was taken by AFP via Getty Images.
Accusations of AI manipulation
Dr Adam James, a physiotherapist who has been commenting on Trump's health, claimed: "Natalie Harp is nuts. She is using AI to edit herself into photos because she has a maladaptive attachment to the dementia patient that she is the home health aide for." He added: "This is the edited version which includes a fighter jet which we know he flinched and cringed like a dementia patient when they flew over."
Dr James also questioned other details: "Also, where is his left glove and his font is from the third Reich in Germany."
Alleged motives
Dr James alleged: "We all know Natalie is the one using AI to edit and post any photos that go on his social feed. There are a couple of reasons why she is doing this. Number one is parental transference." He continued: "Her father passed away several years ago and she has now transferred that place in her life over to the President - gross. This is the reasons she has written him letters found by the secret service telling him, 'you are all that matters to me'."
He claimed the second reason was "trauma bonding": "Trump is somewhat aware that his brain is betraying him and she is a cancer survivor even though nothing she said about her cancer journey makes any sense. But it is the reality to her in her own mind so they bond over both of them dealing with severe health issues."
Previous controversies
Harp, 35, has previously been accused of acting as Trump's "nappy nurse" due to pictures of her carrying a large rucksack allegedly filled with adult diapers. The relationship between the two has been the source of controversy after alleged "love letters" from Harp to Trump were discovered. The messages were reportedly so out of the ordinary that they "alarmed" the Secret Service.
