Newly discovered photos show Donald Trump aide Natalie Harp sprinting after his cart at his Scottish golf course – after bizarre letters she sent him confessing her devotion to him were published.
Questions are swirling about the 35-year-old executive assistant unusually close relationship with the US President. Harp is nicknamed the “human printer” because she frequently prints out and hands the President printouts of flattering news stories and cherry-picked poll numbers – acting as a “filter” for information reaching him. She is reported to have frequently left “intimate” letters for him to find in his personal spaces, saying things like “You are all that matters to me,” and “I don’t ever want to let you down…I want to bring you joy.”
And in a letter published last night by US website the Daily Beast, Harp apologised for a 2023 incident where she followed him around his golf course at Turnberry, Ayrshire on foot, instead of riding in a golf cart. She told Trump, who was running for re-election at the time, that she was sorry “if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland.” She added: “If there is anything else I have done to cause you trouble, please forgive me…I want things to always be right between us….you are all that matters to me. I don’t want to ever let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life.”
Today, pictures published by the Mirror show this incident for the first time. In the pictures, Harp is shown running full-tilt uphill after Trump’s cart on the first day of his trip to Turnberry on 2 May 2023. In the images, Trump is driving away from “Halfway House”, a lighthouse marking the midway point of the course. Worried that she had upset Trump, Harp explained in a letter during or shortly after the trip: “The first day I was told there were no carts, and people walked, which is why I walked.
“The second day, I was specifically asked by, I forget who his name was, but one of the main people who worked there, if I could continue walking, and tell any other girls who would head out there to do the same to spare the Course any more Carts.
“If there is anything else I have done to cause you trouble, please forgive me.”
Harp became a main character in Trumpworld last week, when she was name-checked by rising star Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff in a speech.
He made a pointed remark about Trump choosing her to fly out of Turkey in his secret escape plane, after the threat of an Iranian assassination attempt forced him to abandon Air Force One.
Only Harp, two other aides and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth were on Trump’s plane, while the travelling press corps and several cabinet members flew aboard the decoy Air Force One.
In his speech, Ossoff said: “He doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar.”
Harp, who is said to work seven days a week, never taking a day off, is a permanent fixture outside the Oval Office. She is a gatekeeper to people seeking to meet the President and is said to have access to his communications and social media accounts, often helping him craft posts on Truth Social.
But this week MSNOW revealed she had worked in the White House for more than a year without seeking routine security clearances, which have since been granted.
Formerly a presenter on right-wing streaming channel One America News Network, Harp caught the President’s eye after she credited him with saving her life.
She has said legislation Trump passed during his first term allowed her to get experimental treatment for bone cancer.
Harp joined his 2024 campaign team, going to extreme lengths to maintain proximity to Trump – even reportedly sleeping in the women’s locker room at his Bedminster golf resort in New Jersey for an entire summer, after she was not given a room at the hotel.
She’s also said to have ridden in the boot of an SUV in order to remain close to him.
