Topline
Trump aide Natalie Harp once wrote a fawning letter to the president signed, “With all my heart, Natalie,” according to The New York Times, another revelation about her extreme level of devotion to the president as the relationship became an attack line this week for a top Democrat accusing Trump of surrounding himself with “sycophants.”

Key Facts
Harp told Trump she was “sorry” if she was an “embarrassment walking the course in Scotland,” apparently referring to a golf outing she accompanied him on, according to the letter viewed by The Times.
She told Trump she had been “distracted all week,” forgetting to eat and only sleeping a couple hours at a time, and signed the letter, “With all my heart, Natalie.”
The letter is the latest detail about Harp’s unfettered loyalty to Trump, which has reportedly raised concerns within his inner circle that she doesn’t properly vet the flow of information to and from Trump, who she maintains close physical proximity to.
In Scotland, she sprinted across the golf course to keep up with his cart, according to videos shared with The Times.
CNN also reported Tuesday that in October 2023, Harp jumped into the back of an SUV trunk to accompany Trump to a court appearance in New York, after other aides determined there wasn’t room for her in the vehicle, citing two unnamed sources and a photo obtained by the network.
Harp’s relationship with Trump has faced new questions this week after she was among a select group of aides who accompanied him on a secret flight out of Turkey last month, while other cabinet officials and aides were left on a so-called “decoy” Air Force One flight.
Contra
“Natalie Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump’s team,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Times.
Key Background
Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., made Harp an attack line against Trump this week, accusing the president of surrounding himself with “sycophants” and aides who act as his “security blanket to make him feel good about himself.” Harp, 35, is a former One America News anchor who drew Trump’s attention in 2019 when she credited him with saving her life for signing legislation that allowed her to obtain experimental treatment for bone cancer. She then worked on his 2024 campaign and now works as a special assistant and executive assistant to the president. During the 2024 campaign, she was nicknamed “the human printer” because she carried a printer with her to print off materials that might interest Trump, reportedly alarming others in his inner circle because she often relied on conspiratorial sources. The Times reported in 2024 on some of Harp’s other letters to Trump, including notes that reportedly said, “you are all that matters to me.”
Chief Critic
Harp’s estranged brother, Preston Harp, told CNN on Tuesday that his sister is the president’s “biggest fan” and that she has had an “obsession” with presidents dating back to when she was a teenager. “She’s written letters to other presidents, let me put it that way. And so, like, her dream finally came true,” he said.
