Trump ridiculed over relationship with 35-year-old blonde female aide… as whispers grow

Donald Trump is facing ridicule about his close relationship with his personal aide Natalie Harp, while First Lady Melania Trump has shrunk away from the public eye. 

Harp, 35, was among the handful of aides chosen to accompany the President as he secretly fled Air Force One amid an Iranian assassination threat in Turkey back in July. 

Sources have told the Daily Mail that Harp is Trump’s closest aide, often dubbing her his ‘connective tissue’ with some pointing out that she has more access to the President than even his chief of staff Susie Wiles. 

Harp is also known as his ‘human printer’ for her habit of sharing printed copies of articles and social media posts that the President wants to read. There’s rarely an event or trip where she’s not glued closely to his side.

Now Harp’s close relationship with the President is being mocked, as her stardom is back in the spotlight.

2028 Democratic hopeful Senator Jon Ossoff ridiculed Trump during a Saturday rally in Georgia over his relationship with the young aide. 

He accused Trump of not ‘wanting’ to do his job in the Oval Office, instead he ‘golfs and trades stocks.’

Ossoff told supporters: ‘See, he doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie [Harp] on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar.’ 

When asked about Ossoff’s comments regarding Harp, Trump quickly shifted the topic away from his aide and did not respond.

Melania has done about half as many events in Trump’s second term compared to his first term

Scrutiny over Harp’s closeness to Trump comes as Melania has done about half as many events in Trump’s second term compared to his first, according to NBC News.

She did not attend Lindsey Graham’s funeral, the revamped White House Correspondents’ Association dinner or the July 22 dignified transfer of four fallen US service members.

Harp, meanwhile, was spotted at Trump’s side this weekend as the duo shook hands with supporters at the President’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey. Harp was wearing a sleeveless turquoise top, with her blonde hair in a ponytail as she accompanied Trump. 

Harp was one of only a handful of aides Donald Trump kept beside him last month when he slipped off Air Force One in Turkey and boarded a decoy military jet.

The escape was prompted by intelligence about a shoulder-fired missile threat to the President’s plane on the final day of the NATO summit in Ankara.

Trump hid inside a catering truck to reach the second aircraft, joined by Harp, deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino and Oval Office operations director Walt Nauta.

Other cabinet officials, including Marco Rubio, Scott Bessent and Stephen Miller were all left behind on the larger plane.

Harp’s grip on the President was laid bare in June by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan in their book Regime Change. 

Melania was absent from last month’s dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base honoring US troops killed in the Iran war. Harp and other aides accompanied Trump to the event

The authors reported that Harp left private notes for Trump in his personal spaces, one of which read: ‘You are all that matters to me.’

Swan said the letters were strange enough to draw the attention of the Secret Service, and the disclosure reportedly stunned Susie Wiles.

Haberman and Swan also quote Trump telling staff that Harp loved him as much as his wife and children did. 

‘All of you will go off and make money,’ Trump reportedly told his own staffers. ‘She’ll never leave me.’

As previously noted, Melania was absent from last month’s dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base honoring US troops killed in the Iran war.

Trump was instead accompanied by Harp, who wore a somber, all-black dress for the occasion.
