Donald Trump’s devoted aide Natalie Harp has faced a barrage of fierce scrutiny after doing bizarre things for her boss.
They range from chasing his golf cart up a hill and expressing her loyalty to him in at least two letters as rumours about their ‘close’ relationship spread.
The aide, who Trump is said to have an ‘extremely close’ relationship with, was recently seen in newly-surfaced photos sprinting after his golf car in Scotland in 2023. The incident has been widely mocked on social media. It follows letters the aide reportedly sent to Trump laying out her devotion to him.
In one, she told him, “You are all that matters to me” according to New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan in their 2026 book Regime Change.
Ms Harp is reported to have written that Trump is her “guardian and protector in this life”, as well as, “I don’t ever want to let you down”.
The Californian native, nicknamed the ‘human printer’ because she prints out hard copies of positive news stories for Trump, has been a prominent figure in the president’s inner circle. She was one of the main figures in Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign.
She has also been dubbed “the nappy nurse” after rumours circulated saying she was responsible for his adult nappies, following widespread speculation that he regularly defecates himself.
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.
The Daily Beast’s Joanna Coles and Michael Wolff said they have photos of the letters, claiming they were “quite long” and did not believe Trump had the patience to read them.
In a recent public appearance, First Lady Melania Trump was seen engaging in a heated exchange with her husband. Lip reader Jeremy Freeman said she spoke to Trump with a “cutting tone” and supposedly said “I can’t take anymore.
Despite intense backlash to Harp’s closeness, the American leader has stuck by his devoted aide. Karoline Leavitt, who recently stepped down as his press secretary, said: “Natalie is one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides on President Trump’s team.”
A number of concerns have been raised about Trump’s health, with the whites of his eyes retreating almost under his eyelids in recent photos from the Oval Office briefing with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Trump has also claimed that aliens are living in our oceans in a bombshell revelation.
