Aide Natalie Harp in "unhealthy relationship" with Trump:

White House aide Natalie Harp’s obsession with Donald Trump has become so severe that her own brother has spoken out.

Preston Harp, 38, the estranged brother of Trump’s favorite personal assistant, blasted the 80-year-old president and his too-close-for-comfort bond with Preston’s 34-year-old sister.

In an interview with The Daily Mail, Preston called Trump a “national embarrassment” and said his sister’s relationship with him is “very unhealthy.”

Harp has since risen through the ranks to become Trump’s favorite personal assistant, her devotion to the president becoming so intense that it caused concern within the Secret Service. According to Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, a new book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Harp would leave gushing letters for Trump in his “personal spaces” before joining the White House staff. One reportedly read, “You are all that matters to me.”

More likely, she loves the access. I wouldn't be surprised if she's really another Russian honey pot.

That was the first thought that went through my head when I saw the images of her in the article.

She's not drop dead gorgeous but she's quite pretty. She'd have no trouble finding a guy her own age and yet she's obsessed with an ambulatory glob of Cheeto dust and cheap tanning oil.

Humans really are strange creatures.

From Wikipedia:

By 2017, Harp had become vocally critical of healthcare in the United States after she began suffering from health issues, particularly chronic pain and complications incurred by a medical error involving intravenous therapy for stage II bone cancer.[6] She praised president Donald Trump for signing into law a federal right-to-try law that she claimed allowed her to access experimental treatments, saving her life, on Fox News in 2019;[3] according to experts who spoke to The Washington Post, Harp's description of her treatment cast doubt on the veracity of her claim.[6]

Trump invited Harp to speak at the Republican National Convention in August 2020.[3] Her speech compared Trump to George Bailey, the protagonist of It's a Wonderful Life (1946),[7] leading to criticism from the family of the character's actor, Jimmy Stewart.[8] By August, she had become a member of the advisory board for Trump's 2020 presidential campaign.[9]

A reminder that Jimmy Stewart was a lifelong conservative Republican. Donald Trump is Mr. Potter in It's Wonderful Life. He's as far from George Bailey as one can get.

Harp is responsible for most of the unhinged posts on Trump's Truth Social. According to Wikipedia:
With Trump's approval, Harp was responsible for posting a video that included a racist depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes and for posting an AI-generated image of Trump as Jesus.

I don't see why this story is significant in any way. Nobody cares if Trump is boinking his personal assistant. He's not Bill Clinton, for pete's sake!

Apparently she's up all night with him, feeding him memes and internet crap that he reposts with her assistance. She may be writing the posts.

She's helping Trump be the worst version of himself. It's an irritant to Republicans because they wish Trump would stop posting this embarrassing crap. The MAGA base loves it, though.

It's an interesting story to me because it shows how one person's actions can have an outsized impact on a presidency. Does it matter? I don't know.

I don't think so. That level of narcissism precludes any form of healthy relationship.

ivanka doesn't seem to be in his orbit as much anymore, she seems to be spending more time with her real hubby, jared.
Also, ivanka is nearing 50, a tad old for daddy-o.

I agree totally with everyone (herein) that Natalie Harp is a weirdly-situated girl-child; however, unless there is much more than 'she-said / he-said' evidence, then Natalie Harp may have a case of 'Defamation' against any number of folks.

Where are the video or audio tapes of her physically interacting with djt

Where are the witnesses of Natalie Harp being indiscrete with djt

Have they been seen in intimate entanglements

Have they been seen embracing or holding hands or kissing

Where are the shared emails of their love messaging

Where is any proof of related gift exchanges

Other details indicating an "unhealthy relationship" with djt must be provided if she is to be determined out-of-touch or even deranged.
