HOPELESSLY DEVOTED

Trump’s Blonde Aide, 35, Sparks Fresh Mystery After Intimate Letters Revealed

Trump’s longtime aide was by his side again Friday, as newly revealed letters shed fresh light on their unusually close relationship.

President Donald Trump’s devoted aide was at his side Friday, a day after two fawning letters she wrote to the president, her “Guardian and Protector,” were revealed.

Natalie Harp, 35, accompanied the 80-year-old president to a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, rally for Senate candidate Darline Graham.

WITH ALL MY HEART

Natalie Harp’s Intimate Letters to Trump Revealed in Full

Harp, a former right-wing television anchor who makes $150,000 annually as Trump’s executive assistant, was photographed getting on Marine One at the White House and deboarding at Andrews Air Force Base prior to the flight. She was joined by outgoing Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Special Assistant to the President Margo Martin, and Director of Oval Office Operations Walt Nauta.

While Trump spoke with members of the press on the tarmac beside Leavitt, Harp bypassed the gaggle and boarded Air Force One.

Harp’s bond with the president was put further under the microscope this week, first when Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff criticized Trump at a rally, saying he “doesn’t want to do the job” and would prefer to “build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.”

After many right-wing commentators clutched their pearls about Ossoff’s remark, it emerged that Harp had worked in the White House for over a year without a security clearance. Then on Thursday, the Daily Beast published two of Harp’s letters, which had been acquired by Trump biographer Michael Wolff. Wolff said the letters were included in the printouts that Harp regularly gives the president. Campaign staff found them, photographed them, and circulated them among themselves.

“You are all that matters to me,” Harp wrote to Trump in 2023, apparently during or after she accompanied him to Ireland and Scotland. “I don’t want to ever let you down.”

Harp, who was homeschooled, graduated from San Diego’s Point Loma Nazarene University, a private college affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene, an evangelical Christian denomination. She then received an MBA from Liberty University, a private evangelical university in Virginia.

Harp showed up on Trump’s radar in 2019 when she went on Fox News to give him credit for signing legislation she claims helped her recover from bone cancer. Harp, who was a speaker at the 2020 Republican National Convention, hosted a show on OANN until 2022, when she joined Trump’s campaign.

Harp is now one of the closest people to the president, who has said that she “will never leave” him.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast. Spokesperson Davis Ingle has previously said Harp “is one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides on President Trump’s team.”
