'The unit that will never leave me': The assistant who became the woman closest to Trump

Natalie Harp, a 34-year-old personal aide to US President Donald Trump, has become one of the people closest to him. She flew with him on the secure military aircraft during the Iranian threat, while senior officials like Marco Rubio stayed behind. According to a new book by New York Times reporters, Trump said of her: "She's the only one who loves me like my family and will never leave me."

Natalie Harp, 34, a former anchor on the far-right television channel One America News, has become the personal aide to US President Donald Trump and one of the people closest to him. She was among the "lucky ones" who flew with Trump on the secure military aircraft Air Force One during the Iranian threat, while senior officials such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and policy adviser Stephen Miller stayed behind on the threatened plane. According to the new book "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Harp used to leave Trump enthusiastic letters and told him at the 2024 Republican convention: "Without you, I wouldn't be alive." She participates in all Oval Office meetings, prints out social media posts and positive articles for him, and is known in the White House as the "human printer." She has access to Trump's social media accounts and posts on his behalf without approval. Trump told his advisers: "She's the only one who loves me like my family and will never leave me."
