Donald Trump Whisks Natalie Harp Away Again After Late-Night Trip as Midterms Approach With Intense Effort From His Loyal Aide

Donald Trump’s relationship with his 35-year-old executive assistant Natalie Harp has been raising eyebrows for months, attracting attention, criticism, and even a viral Jimmy Kimmel skit and Saturday Night Live sketch.

But that doesn’t seem to have affected his relationship with her.

Observers note that Harp seems more glued to Trump’s side than ever as the president engaged in a busy campaign schedule of rallies and appearances to shore up Republican support for the midterm elections.

Harp is often as reliable a sight with her ever-present shoulder bag as the military aide who carries the “nuclear football,” and usually just as close at hand.

Harp remained by Trump's side on his recent trips to rallies in Nebraska and Ohio, and all indications are that she and her shoulder bag will continue to be a constant presence. It’s been reported that even the Secret Service is allegedly concerned about their relationship.

The 17-state midterm swing comes not long after the revelation of adoring personal letters from Harp to Trump. Written in Sharpie and left where Trump can find them, critics suggested they were more appropriate for a lovesick teen than a federal employee and her boss.

After an embarrassing incident in Scotland, she wrote a fawning apology: "I want things to always be right between us. I also know I’ve been distracted all week, forgetting to eat throughout the days and even forgetting to sleep."

In another case, she wrote, "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."

And in one that raises questions about the nature of their dynamic, she wrote he had the “absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more."

Aides have dubbed Harp “the human printer” because she keeps a portable printer at hand to calm Trump’s mood with fresh copies of positive news about himself.

During Trump’s first administration, the task of delivering the folder of happy stories to Trump was a prized task among aides, but it seems that Harp now has this responsibility locked down.
