Trump's 'human printer' aide sent him letters saying 'you are my everything'

Natalie Harp, a White House aide described as Donald Trump's "comfort blanket" and "human printer," worked at the White House for over a year while repeatedly refusing to undergo security clearance. Concerns grew within the White House staff and Secret Service over her non-compliance, leading to President Trump's intervention. Harp eventually submitted to the screening process in recent months, though the exact reasons for her initial refusal remain unclear.

Harp, who has known Trump since 2019, joined the White House staff in January 2020. Her health improved after Trump signed a law in 2018 allowing terminally ill patients to use experimental drugs, which she received treatment from.

You are my everything. Thank you for being my life's guardian and protector.

Concerns have also been raised that Harp provides Trump with biased reports and posts, fueling his own biases. One source told MS NOW that Harp brings unverified information to the president that "fuels his less productive and problematic nature." Furthermore, it was revealed that Harp posted over 150 social media messages on January 6, 2021, the day of the Capitol riot, urging people to "fight for Trump." Her X (formerly Twitter) account has since been deleted.

David Cohen, a political science professor at the University of Akron, told CNN that Harp has proven to be a "completely loyal and sycophantic aide and staffer" to Trump. He added, "Trump doesn't like to be questioned and wants to be worshipped, and Harp does exactly that."

I miss the days when you would call me often when I was hosting talk shows and we would talk about all sorts of topics. We don't always have to talk about work, do we?

Vanity Fair reported on March 20 that they obtained two letters from Harp to Trump dated 2023. In one, she wrote, "You are my everything" and "Thank you for being my life's guardian and protector." Harp had been assisting Trump even when he was out of office after losing to President Joe Biden. In another letter, she expressed nostalgia for their past conversations, saying, "I miss the days when you would call me often when I was hosting talk shows and we would talk about all sorts of topics. We don't always have to talk about work, do we?"

In a letter written during a trip with Trump to Scotland in 2023, Harp wrote, "I could lose track of time on the golf course and didn't have to be the 'human printer.'" Her brother, Preston, told CNN on March 19 that their mother taught them "American exceptionalism is the right way to see the world, and Natalie hasn't moved on from that fantasy." He added, "She is pathologically obsessed with Trump." Preston reportedly lives in Nicaragua and openly identifies as a supporter of the Sandinista movement on platforms like Facebook.

Melania Trump made a public appearance on March 20, her first in over a month, which was seen as an attempt to quell controversy surrounding the president and his young female aide. New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman described Harp as a "comfort blanket" for Trump in a recent MSNow interview, providing him with emotional stability.

The controversy surrounding Harp intensified after U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff (Democrat) remarked on March 16, suggesting Trump "just wants to travel with Natalie on Air Force One."
