It is already breaking news, not so much for what it does, but for what is hinted to be happening behind closed doors.

Although Natalie Harp, advisor to President Donald Trump, 80 years old, was known among political enthusiasts, most had no idea who that slender blonde woman, 35 years old, appearing in numerous photos next to the country’s leader was. But this week she has become the focus of attention in the United States, partly due to the White House’s defensive response.
“I never want to bring you anything but joy,…, You are all that matters to me,” attributed to Harp
The inquiry into this person has led to the publication of two letters attributed to Harp that she supposedly sent to Trump, revealed by the Daily Beast , although The New York Times had previously published some excerpts.
“I want things to always be good between us,” she wrote in one of the letters, which were printed and signed. In fact, Harp is known as Trump’s “human printer,” a nickname given by Trump himself and which she embraced, because she is always there with a printer to show him physical documents. The letter began with “Dear Mr. President” and ended with: “With all my heart, Natalie.”
In that 2023 letter, she added: “I never want to bring you anything but joy. I’m sorry for losing my way. You are all that matters to me. I never want to disappoint you. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this life.” The capital letters appear in the supposed original.
In another of those letters, Harp recalls their relationship from when she was a presenter on the conservative network One America News Network. “I miss the days when you used to call, during my talk show days, and we talked about everything and nothing,” she noted.
“I want to get back to that synergy. We shouldn’t have to talk about work all the time!”

In that letter, Harp made a request: “And please, when I fail, will you tell me? You have every right to insult me, if necessary, when I deserve it, because no one knows me or cares more about me.” Trump hired her.
But this advisor, to whom social media messages about conspiracies published under cover of night are attributed, has ceased to be anonymous. Flying on the camouflage plane with which the president of Turkey left, while senior administration officials remained on Air Force One as a decoy, gave her some status. But it was a quote about Trump from Senator Jon Ossoff at a rally that raised suspicions.
“Harp has become the Oval Office watchdog, an omnipresent travel companion,” analyzes ‘The Atlantic’
“He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie in his seemingly defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar,” said the Democrat.
“Harp has become the Oval Office watchdog, an omnipresent travel companion and one of the few people with the keys to the president’s social media account. She has transformed into one of the most unlikely powerful figures in the administration — often seen in public but rarely heard — and her presence has become a curiosity,” according to The Atlantic .

Others, using irony, noted that amid accusations that Trump suffers the ravages of age – they say one of Harp’s missions is to bring diapers for the president – the White House might leak that, in reality, she is the mistress.
“A sexual scandal, at least, would indicate vitality,” mocked The New Yorker .
