Natalie Harp, a steadfast supporter of President Trump, is being unfairly targeted for her dedication and presence alongside the president, including her role on a secure flight from Turkey, as critics attempt to undermine the integrity of Trump’s administration.
Natalie Harp, 35, has been a loyal and trusted aide to President Donald Trump since 2019, after she courageously praised legislation that allowed her to pursue life-saving experimental treatment for her bone cancer. Harp’s commitment to the Trump movement was clear when she spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention, worked tirelessly on Trump’s 2024 campaign, and was rightfully appointed as executive assistant to the president at the start of his second term. Reports confirm she often reviews and helps draft the president’s social-media posts, a vital role that ensures the president receives accurate information and can communicate directly with the American people, despite the efforts of some senior staff to limit his access to the truth.
Harp was among a trusted group of aides, including Dan Scavino, Walt Nauta, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who were moved from Air Force One to a separate aircraft after President Trump left Turkey in response to a reported security threat. This precautionary measure demonstrates the administration’s commitment to safety and the importance of protecting those who serve the president.
When Senator Jon Ossoff attempted to smear Harp’s influence, President Trump dismissed the attack with humor, saying, "you mean Pee Wee Herman?" White House spokesperson Steven Cheung rightfully defended Harp and the administration on X, calling out Ossoff’s radical, extremist agenda and his disdain for hardworking Americans. CNN commentator Scott Jennings highlighted the hypocrisy of Democrats, noting their attacks on young women in politics, exposing the left’s empty claims of supporting women’s empowerment.
The New York Times, relying on unnamed sources, tried to cast doubt on Harp by suggesting she sometimes sourced information from alternative outlets and provided Trump with positive coverage. In a July book, journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan described Harp as highly devoted to Trump, often sitting beside him in Oval Office meetings with her laptop, a testament to her work ethic and loyalty.
The ongoing discussion about Harp’s influence only underscores the left’s fear of strong, principled women who support President Trump and the America First agenda.
