If you've been thinking that the White House could use at least one more oddball these days
then let us introduce you to Donald Trump's aide, Natalie Harp. She slept in a locker room because her regular sleeping quarters were too far away from number 47
She's shown up late at night in areas reserved for Trump's family
She even claims that Trump saved her life. I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for you
It's clear she's devoted to the president. Some people might even use the word obsessed
The way insiders talk about her, it sounds like she's the kitty to Trump's George Sr
So what does any of that have to do with Melania? Well, if you haven't read Between the Lines by now, we'll spell it out
She's a little too close to Trump for marital comfort, if you catch our drift
In his upcoming book, Revenge, the inside story of Trump's return to power
reporter Alex Eisenstadt described an awkward run-in between Harp and Melania that crossed a few boundaries
He explained that Melania stumbled across the 34-year-old late one night in Trump's private room at Mar-a-Lago
As Eisenstadt wrote, Trump usually keeps that area off limits to everyone except immediate family
so to find Harp there, especially at that hour, was a little shocking to the first lady
As Eisenstadt bluntly summarized, Harp didn't do well with boundaries. The official story for the late night rendezvous, according to the book
was that Harp was dropping off some documents that she didn't think could wait for morning
but even so it's no surprise that melania might not think too highly of trump's devoted aid
and if you look back over their time together the stories just get weirder and weirder it all
started in 2019 when harp sung donald's praises on fox and friends claiming that his signing of
the right to try act into law saved her after her bone cancer diagnosis donald then invited her to speak at the faith and freedom coalition road to Majority Conference and gave her a glowing introduction She lit up the television screen like very few people I ever seen do it
This feeling was clearly mutual, and since then, Harp has reportedly fought to stay as close to the president as possible
After joining his campaign in 2022, Harp picked up the nickname Human Printer
because she had a habit of printing out articles that are complementary toward Donald
and hand-delivering them to him. In fact, Trump began to sort of depend on her for that very thing
Eisenstadt wrote, If he wanted to read a fawning but factually dicey story in a Trump-aligned media outlet
Natalie was there to print it out. Stories abound of Harp's bizarre behavior
Like we mentioned, she reportedly once lived in a locker room at his golf club for an entire
summer when she deemed her accommodation too far from where he was staying
She's been known to follow his golf cart around on foot at times, reading him positive tweets
out loud, while other times she follows in her own golf cart equipped with a wireless printer
And in 2024, multiple outlets reported on a series of personal letters she'd written to the
then-presidential hopeful, penning in one, You are all that matters to me. I want to bring you joy, to feel like we can get through a day
without ever having to talk work. Suffice it to say, Harp has carved out a unique niche for
herself in Donald's inner circle, and Daily Mail reports that these days she's considered unfireable
My good Samaritan, President Donald J. Trump! That's plenty of reason for Melania to gripe about the ever-present aid
but Harp has even given the Secret Service more than a few headaches. The Cut reported that the closer she grew to the president
the more of a danger it was causing for both her and Trump. It sounds like Melania might not be alone in wanting Harp out of the inner circle
