Donald Trump is reported to have a blonde aide in her 30s follow him around the White House and on the golf course with a portable printer so he can read positive news stories about himself
Donald Trump reportedly has an aide on hand to ensure he’s constantly fed a diet of flattering news about himself amid his turbulent return to the political fray.
A pundit has claimed that the 47th President leans heavily on a blonde assistant in her 30s named Natalie Harp, who is said to tote around a portable printer for the sole purpose of producing positive Trump news stories.
This assertion comes from the pen of the Daily Mail’s Ephraim Hardcastle, who echoes the words of Trump’s biographer Michael Wolff.
He remarked: “According to his biographer Michael Wolff, he is accompanied everywhere by blonde 30-something aide Natalie Harp with her portable printer – even on the golf course.
“Harp has to show her boss a constant stream of positive stories about himself (not the easiest task), so that he can always be in his own bubble.”
The tale of Trump’s peculiar working dynamic with the ex-TV figure isn’t new, reports the Irish Star.

In a snippet from Wolff’s book ‘All or Nothing’, featured in Vanity Fair, it’s also alleged that Natalie went as far as living in a golf-club locker room to stay close to the President.
Wolff wrote: “She had reached out to the grounds staff at the country club and gotten herself a maid’s room. And when that proved too far from the main house to respond quickly enough to Trump’s calls, she relocated herself to the much closer women’s locker room, where, with undiminished proximity to Trump, she would spend the summer.”
Harp’s appearance in Wolff’s book was not her first mention in literature about Trump. In “Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power,” Alex Isenstadt digs into Harp’s sometimes “obsessive” demeanour towards Trump, as the Daily Mail reports.
Isenstadt penned: “Natalie’s behaviour was increasingly drawing attention. Particularly concerning: The Secret Service had obtained handwritten letters Natalie had given Trump in which she came off as obsessive, adoring, and desperate for his approval.”
One letter, highlighted by The New York Times, reportedly has Natalie referring to Trump as her “Guardian and Protector in this Life” and expressing that he is all that matters to her.
Although White House Communications Director Steven Cheung has dismissed Isenstadt’s allegations as “pure malicious falsehoods” with “no basis in reality”, there is unrest over the revelations, especially during a period fraught with serious security worries.
Tensions were further heightened when National Security Advisor Mike Waltz invited a journalist into a Signal group where he, along with Vice President JD Vance and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, discussed classified military strategies.
Following an ensuing scandal involving the leak of plans to target Houthi rebels being reported due to a conversation on the messaging app, Mr Waltz assumed full responsibility for the predicament.
