Donald Trump appeared weary and unsteady as he disembarked from his presidential helicopter, while his fiercely loyal aide – recently dubbed his “nappy nurse” – was spotted keeping a noticeable distance in a striking Barbie-pink ensemble.
The former president was seen looking downcast and carefully navigating the steps of Marine One, flanked by security personnel. Meanwhile, Natalie Harp, his executive assistant, strutted across the lawn in a vibrant, sleeveless pink dress with a pleated skirt, carrying a laptop and a large black tote bag. In another moment, she was seen walking cheerfully alongside a male colleague, far removed from her boss's sluggish arrival.
Dress from Nordstrom
According to recent fashion reports, the dress is from Nordstrom, where it originally retailed for $445 (about £300) but is currently on sale for $298.15 (around £150).
Harp has increasingly found herself at the centre of intense media scrutiny regarding her exceptionally close working relationship with Trump, who was snapped seemingly struggling to get out of the Marine One helicopter as he just stood there, stooped over for ages.
'Nappy nurse' nickname
She has been dubbed "the nappy nurse" after rumours circulated saying she was responsible for his adult nappies, following widespread speculation that he regularly defecates himself.
The California native, who allegedly spends seven days a week by his side, has also been nicknamed the 'human printer' because she prints out hard copies of positive news stories for the president.
Devotion to Trump
Beyond the crude nicknames, Harp's devotion to the American leader has involved a series of bizarre acts, from sprinting after his golf car in Scotland to writing him deeply personal letters.
In their 2026 book Regime Change, New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reported that Harp told Trump in one letter, "You are all that matters to me". She also purportedly wrote that he is her "guardian and protector in this life" and declared, "I don't ever want to let you down". Journalists Joanna Coles and Michael Wolff claim to possess photographs of these letters, describing them as "quite long" and expressing doubt that Trump even had the patience to read them.
Defence from Trump's camp
Despite the public mockery and intense backlash surrounding her closeness to the president, Trump's camp has defended her. Karoline Leavitt, who recently stepped down as his press secretary, called Harp "one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides" on the team.
Little is known about her private life. But the aide has been put in the spotlight for her continued closeness to Trump, allegedly spending seven days a week by his side and "always" on hand to support him. She was one of three White House aides who accompanied Trump on a military jet from Turkey to the UK.
Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff called out Ms Harp in his speech, accusing Trump of wanting to "build his ballroom and travel with Natalie" instead of completing his duties.
Nevertheless, despite her reputation for always being on hand to support him, the devoted aide opted for a cheerful, Barbie-inspired moment in the sun, steering clear of the purportedly ailing leader as he made his laboured exit from the aircraft.
