In Donald Trump’s recent public appearances, it’s been hard to ignore a particular attendee who seems to be next to him – .

Natalie Harp, 35, is one of the President’s closest aides and is nicknamed the ‘human printer’ because of how many articles she prints for Trump to read.

She first caught Trump’s attention in 2019, when she shared a story of how she battled bone cancer. In 2022, after working as a far-right news anchor, she entered his inner circle.

This week, however, bizarre details about her relationship with the Commander-in-Chief have surfaced.

In 2023, Harp was unable to get a seat in his motorcade as the President rode to his court hearing.

CNN reported that a ‘screaming match’ ensued, with Harp insisting Trump asked her to attend. Eventually, she hopped into a car boot and rode along with the President to the courthouse.

Her closeness to Trump has raised a few eyebrows, however, and caused concern from Harp’s own brother.

Harp’s brother, Parker, told the Daily Mail: ‘I don’t understand why my sister, or anyone, could want to work for Trump.’

Speaking of the reported car boot incident, he said: ‘It’s actually really sad. That’s obsession. That’s like an unhealthy obsession with someone if you’re going to jump into the trunk of their car.

‘Trump is like everything that my mom taught us to respect. I think that’s where her infatuation with Trump comes from, honestly.’

She was said to have left a personal note for the President in a ‘personal space’, reading: ‘You are all that matters to me.’

Last month, instead of Melania standing by her husband’s side while overseeing the transfer of the soldiers killed in the Middle East, Harp was there.

She’s also believed to be the one in charge of his bizarre Truth Social posts.

Harp has repeatedly said Trump ‘saved her life’ by allowing experimental treatments when she was battling cancer.

But her fierce loyalty to Trump is worrying those close to the President.

Insiders told CNN that she is so ‘territorial’ about the President that she brags to others about ‘only reporting to him’.

A White House spokesperson previously said of Harp: ‘No president has cultivated as much loyalty among their staffers and administration officials as President Trump; this is a testament to his commitment to our country and its people.

‘Natalie Harp is a beloved White House Official, and the Fake News Media will never understand what it’s like to be as trusted and admired as her.’
