Donald Trump’s aide Natalie Harp faces scrutiny over “human printer” role and close ties

Natalie Harp, a 34‑year‑old former right‑wing TV host, serves as an executive aide to President Donald Trump and has become known inside the White House as the “human printer.” She carries a portable printer to provide the president with hard‑copy news items, social‑media drafts and personal notes, and she is reported to write adoring letters to Trump, including messages such as “You are all that matters to me.”

A newly released book, *Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump* by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, along with biographer Michael Wolff, detailed Harp’s unusually close relationship with the president. Trump has praised her loyalty, saying she “will never leave me” and that she “loves him as much as his wife and kids.”

Harp’s estranged brother, Preston Harp, told the Daily Mail that the relationship is “very unhealthy” and called Trump a “national embarrassment.” Secret Service agents have reportedly warned that Harp’s proximity could pose security risks. Within the administration, some aides expressed “appalled” reactions to her sycophantic behavior, fearing it could influence the president’s information flow and decision‑making.
