Donald Trump’s relationship with White House aide Natalie Harp is back in the spotlight after her estranged brother publicly called it “very unhealthy.”

Natalie Harp, 34, has earned the nickname “the human printer” inside the White House for her habit of carrying a portable printer and delivering the president a steady stream of printed news articles, emails, and documents throughout the day. She’s widely regarded as one of Trump’s closest and most trusted aides.

But her brother Preston Harp isn’t exactly a fan of the dynamic. In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, he called Trump a “national embarrassment” and said his sister’s level of dedication to the president has crossed into troubling territory.

“She’s just like his fan club,” he told the outlet, adding that he views the pair’s connection as “very unhealthy.”

Who is Natalie Harp?
Preston said that the two siblings have been out of touch for years. He said he was caught off guard by just how prominent a role Natalie had carved out for herself in Trump’s inner circle, according to VT.

Natalie’s path to the White House started back in 2019, when she publicly credited Trump for signing the Right to Try Act. She went on to host at One America News Network before eventually joining Trump’s team full-time.

The book “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” authored by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, claims that Harp left handwritten notes for Trump in spaces reserved exclusively for the president. One of those messages reportedly said: “You are all that matters to me.” According to the book, the notes made some White House staffers uneasy.

” She’ll never leave me”
Separately, journalist Michael Wolff’s “All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America” also zeroes in on Harp’s intensity, describing her as having a “fixation” on Trump that was an open secret among campaign staff. The book notes that even some Secret Service agents found her level of devotion unusual.

For his part, Trump has apparently welcomed her loyalty. “Regime Change” reports that he once told staff Harp was “the only one who loved him as much as his wife and his kids.” He also allegedly joked: “All of you will go off and make money. She’ll never leave me.”

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described Harp as “one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump’s team” when asked about her role.

There has been no indication of any romantic relationship between the two, but Harp remains firmly in Trump’s corner.
