Few qualities carry more weight for Donald Trump than loyalty, and few aides embody it as fully as his executive assistant, Natalie Harp.

A former TV presenter, Harp is a near-constant presence at Trump’s side — encouraging his Oval Office redesigns, typing up his Truth Social tirades and printing out online articles, a role that has earned her the nickname “the human printer.” She also leaves behind admiring notes for him to discover. Her devotion is so pronounced that the 80-year-old Republican once declared: “She’ll never leave me.”

These details about one of the most influential White House aides were revealed by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan in their new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.

      At their level it’s not a cult, it’s weekend at Bernie’s.

      They know he’s a pathetic sack of shit, but they know all they have to do is kiss his ass and deflect blame.

      Some hit their limit and can’t keep up the act, they get replaced. Eventually all that’s left is blind sycophants with zero limits.

      At the level of voters, it’s a cult. Just not for those around him constantly.

    Nothing to back this up but I assume she is some type of foreign asset. Not that they would really need to much to influence him but a pretty blonde lady is absolutely the winning move.

      I don’t get it, what’s suspicious about a skinny 34-year-old blonde wanting to spend all her time around an 80-year-old diaper-smelling man-child who has literally nothing valuable about his life or personality except his fleeting grasp of unearned power and money?

        YEA! just let people love eachother man! freelove! They’re all consenting adults, age gaps a commie liberul myth, amirite? It’s not illegal so there’s nothing wrong about a rich man having a gf who happens to be 50 years younger than them. That’s just called capitalism in action. Free love and free markets, amirite brothers?

        Idk, as a foreign asset… Look, you’d be the ultimate bootlicker, but if you were fully bought into your nation as a project, sucking off one shit-crusted diaper dick to bend a global superpower to your whims is not a bad deal.

      According to the journalist Alex Isenstadt, in one instance, Trump’s wife Melania discovered Harp in his private quarters—an area reserved for the Trump family—delivering papers to him at night.

    What the fuck is it with this guy that women seem to fawn over him?

    Or is it just extreme mental illness on their part?

    Actually now I’ve written it out…

    Maggie Haberman could have made a little less by being a reporter-whistleblower-hero, but that would have been risking her skin and bank account balance, rather than growing that balance.
