Who is Trump aide Natalie Harp? Loyal assistant suddenly in the spotlight

Natalie Harp, a 35-year-old special assistant to President Trump, has found herself in the political spotlight recently, a role most Americans were unfamiliar with until this week. Frequently seen by the president's side, Harp is known for her unwavering support and her habit of quickly providing him with printouts of positive news coverage.

Her role gained significant attention after Sen. Jon Ossoff, a Georgia Democrat, remarked during a campaign rally that the president preferred to "build his ballroom and travel with Natalie" rather than focus on presidential duties. President Trump responded to Ossoff's comments by questioning his resemblance to "Pee Wee Herman."

“

All of you will go off and make money. She'll never leave me.

Harp, often referred to as the "human printer" during the 2024 presidential campaign, was noted for carrying a portable printer to swiftly deliver positive news stories and social media posts to the president, who prefers reading physical copies. She has been part of Trump's orbit for years, having worked on his 2020 and 2024 campaigns, and joined the White House as a presidential appointee in January 2025.

You mean Pee Wee Herman? Pee Wee Herman look-alike?

President Trump has publicly acknowledged Harp's loyalty, with New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan reporting in their book "Regime Change" that Trump told staffers, "All of you will go off and make money. She'll never leave me." White House communications director Stephen Cheung defended Harp against Ossoff's remarks, calling Ossoff a "loser in politics" and Harp "one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump's team."

In a notable instance of her close proximity to the president, Harp was among the few aides who traveled with Trump on a secret flight departing Turkey in July. Sources indicate the Secret Service arranged this covert departure, using a catering truck and a private plane, to safeguard the president due to intelligence suggesting a potential missile threat to his plane as he left Ankara. Only a select few, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House aides Walt Nauta and Dan Scavino, were part of this secret flight.
