Natalie Harp's phone number is worth more than President Trump's.
That's how a source The Wall Street Journal spoke to sums up 35-year-old Harp's rising power in the White House. Harp spends more time with Trump than any other aide, according to the newspaper - and if you want to raise something with the president, the shortest route is through Harp, it says.
Harp has been a constant topic of conversation since it was revealed that she was one of the few people allowed to board Trump's secret plane home from the NATO summit in Turkey, following a "credible threat involving Iran." Left behind on Air Force One were Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, among others.
“Human printer”
Natalie Harp's history with Donald Trump began in 2019, when she thanked the president in a Fox News interview for "saving her life." The deeply religious Harp said she had bone cancer and that legislation Trump signed in 2018, which gave the green light to certain experimental treatments, gave her life back - a history that has been questioned, however .
But Trump liked the story and invited Harp to speak at a party convention. About two years later, she left the right-wing One America News Network and began working for Trump.
She now controls the flow of information both to and from the president, according to American media. She has been nicknamed the “human printer” because she carries a printer with her wherever she goes, ready to deliver selected news on paper to Trump, just as he wants it. It is also said that Harp is the person to whom the president dictates his many social media posts.
“Unhealthily obsessed”
The assistant has not taken a single day off since joining the Trump administration, writes The New York Times . The 35-year-old has her desk in or just outside the Oval Office and travels wherever Trump travels, both within and outside the United States. She is so determined to be by the president's side that, according to CNN, she slept in a tailgate to attend his 2023 trial in New York.
Recently, Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff
that Trump “doesn’t want to work” but only “travel with Natalie.” The comment angered Trump and other Republicans, and a CNN reporter who dared to ask about the matter was called a “scumbag” whose children will be ashamed.In an interview with CNN, Harp's brother Preston Harp says that his sister is "unhealthily obsessed" with the president.
But I don't think it's a physical attraction.
