Devoted Aide Who Keeps Good News Flowing Will Follow Trump to the White House
The New York Times ^ | Nov. 25, 2024, 12:48 p.m. ET | Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan

President-elect Donald J. Trump has always demanded loyalty from his aides, but few have answered the call quite like Natalie Harp.

A 33-year-old former far-right cable host, Ms. Harp is nearly always at Mr. Trump’s side. She has written him a series of devotional letters, including one that says, “You are all that matters to me.” Once, when Mr. Trump was playing golf in Scotland, she ran behind his cart to keep him up to date with positive stories and social media posts.

Little known beyond Mr. Trump’s immediate orbit, Ms. Harp is now poised to play a potentially influential role in his White House, sitting right outside the Oval Office and acting as the conduit for a largely unsupervised flow of information to and from the president and helping him with his social media feed. She has no official title, but during the campaign, colleagues referred to her as the “human printer” because she followed Mr. Trump around with a portable printer and a battery pack to charge it, so she could hand him information in hard copy, as he prefers.

But Ms. Harp also established herself at the center of a fast-moving carousel of text messages, articles and tidbits directed at Mr. Trump. This has generated concern among other aides who feel she has been far too willing to serve as a funnel for conspiracy-minded information at a moment when Mr. Trump appears more contemptuous than ever of attempts to manage or control him. One of her go-to news sources, people who have observed her say, is the conspiracy website Gateway Pundit.

I was just going to comment that Trump has a thing for having attractive females around him. Natalie Harp being the latest I have seen.

Then, The Babylon Bee makes the same observation. :)

Oh heck, Gateway Pundit is hardly a conspiracy site, unless you coujt confirmed reports of leftists coordinating with each other as “conspiracies”.

Infowars would be closer to it, and I am sure there areseveral that are more conspiratorial than Infowars… and sometimes they are right!

I get there are people irritated with The Gateway Pundit due to their “BOMBSHELL” titles, but I agree largely with your post. They are useful. When they aren’t, I just ride right on by.

It took two "journalists" to lift content from Wikipedia?

When I think of loyal Trump followers Sebastian Gorka comes to mind. Dropped out early in the first administration he still supported MAGA . Now he’s back.

Now do the devoted aides of Brandon who knowingly pretended that Brandon wasn’t cognitively declining/unable to fulfill the duties of POTUS.

I am willing to bet that none of Trump’s Nominees have been caught stealing lady’s lingerie from an airport luggage carousel.

Just Sayin’.

She was dying of bone cancer. Trump ensured she got a chance with Right to Try law and she was administered trial cancer medication. She believes he saved her life so it’s really personal for her. Devoted. Loyal. Grateful. Determined.
She’s in the Art of the Comeback YouTube series.

I think you mean Art of the Surge. It’s a great series, regardless.

The NYT has become a rather sad and pathetic rag.

I don’t like people trying to manage or control me, either.

He's okay, but he sounds like Count Chocula.

Gateway Pundit is a far greater legitimate news source than the Times will ever be.
