Natalie Harp, 35, one of Donald Trump's closest aides, has been a constant presence at the President's side in recent public appearances. Nicknamed the 'human printer' for the number of articles she prints for Trump to read, Harp first caught his attention in 2019 after sharing her story of battling bone cancer. She entered his inner circle in 2022 after working as a far-right news anchor.
This week, bizarre details about her relationship with the Commander-in-Chief surfaced. In 2023, Harp was unable to get a seat in Trump's motorcade as he rode to a court hearing. CNN reported that a 'screaming match' ensued, with Harp insisting Trump asked her to attend. Eventually, she hopped into a car boot and rode along with the President to the courthouse.
Concern from her brother
Harp's closeness to Trump has raised eyebrows and caused concern from her own brother, Parker. He told the Daily Mail: 'I don't understand why my sister, or anyone, could want to work for Trump.' Speaking of the reported car boot incident, he said: 'It's actually really sad. That's obsession. That's like an unhealthy obsession with someone if you're going to jump into the trunk of their car.'
He added: 'Trump is like everything that my mom taught us to respect. I think that's where her infatuation with Trump comes from, honestly.'
Personal note and territorial behavior
Harp was said to have left a personal note for the President in a 'personal space', reading: 'You are all that matters to me.' Last month, instead of Melania standing by her husband's side while overseeing the transfer of soldiers killed in the Middle East, Harp was there. She is also believed to be in charge of Trump's bizarre Truth Social posts.
Harp has repeatedly said Trump 'saved her life' by allowing experimental treatments when she was battling cancer. However, her fierce loyalty to Trump is worrying those close to the President. Insiders told CNN that she is so 'territorial' about the President that she brags to others about 'only reporting to him'.
White House response
A White House spokesperson previously said of Harp: 'No president has cultivated as much loyalty among their staffers and administration officials as President Trump; this is a testament to his commitment to our country and its people. Natalie Harp is a beloved White House Official, and the Fake News Media will never understand what it's like to be as trusted and admired as her.'
