Brother on Harp's Trump loyalty: 'Unhealthy obsession'

Natalie Harp, a close aide to former U.S. President Donald Trump, is characterized by her brother, Preston Harp, as harboring an "unhealthy obsession" with the former president. Preston Harp, who is estranged from his sister, shared his views in a CNN interview, describing her relationship with Trump as one of intense admiration.

She is his biggest admirer.

Preston Harp attributes his sister's deep-seated loyalty to their upbringing in a conservative Christian family in California, which instilled a belief in American exceptionalism. He also points to a pivotal moment in 2017 when Natalie Harp received immunotherapy for bone cancer through a Trump administration initiative, an experience her brother believes led her to feel Trump saved her life.

Natalie Harp, 34, is known for her role as Trump's "human printer," often by his side with a portable printer to produce documents he prefers to read. She was among the few individuals Trump brought with him when he evacuated to a military plane in Ankara following an Iranian threat. Author Michael Wolff has suggested Harp leaves "love notes" for Trump, though her brother downplays this, suggesting it's not a physical attraction but rather an "obsession" with the presidency that began in her teenage years.

My mother raised us with the idea that American exceptionalism was the right way to look at the world, that the USA is the boss of the world.

Preston Harp speculates that Trump values his sister because she is his "biggest admirer." He also notes her attractive appearance and pleasant personality as potential factors in their relationship. He believes her profound gratitude for what she perceives as Trump saving her life significantly influences her devotion.

Trump's best friends are his fan club. She is his biggest admirer. That's probably why he likes her, and she looks good and has a nice personality. She believes he saved her life. A person who feels such gratitude – that must feel pretty good.
