The
estranged brother of Natalie Harp, Donald Trump’s doting personal aide, has
spoken out against his sister, describing her close relationship with the
president as “very unhealthy.”
Trump’s
34-year-old executive assistant — who has earned the moniker “Human Printer”
because Trump regularly has her print out online media reports for him — is
never far from his side and is so devoted to the president that she leaves
behind admiring notes for him, according to a new book by New York Times
reporters that highlights the extent of their close relationship.
Preston
Harp, who has left the U.S. behind for Nicaragua and appears to have very
different beliefs from his sibling, told the Daily Mail that he doesn’t
understand how she works for the president.
The
38-year-old told the newspaper that Trump, 80, was “a national embarrassment.”
“She’s
just like his fan club,” he said of his fiercely Trump-loyal sister.
The
outlet reports the siblings became estranged in 2020 following the tragic death
of their father, Robert Harp, who died by suicide according to an Orange County
coroner in California.
After his
dad’s death, Preston Harp said there was a family rift and he is no longer in
touch with his sister or his mother, whom he described as “deeply religious.”
He also claimed other relatives are estranged from the pair.
Preston
Harp revealed that he first discovered his sister was working for Trump after a
friend showed him a news article about it in 2023.
“I had no
idea,” he told the newspaper. “And so it just kind of caused some cognitive
dissonance…I don't understand why my sister, or anyone could want to work for
Trump.”
The
estranged brother of Donald Trump’s doting aide, Natalie Harp, has spoken out
against his sister, describing her relationship with the president as ‘very
unhealthy’ in an interview with the Daily Mail
White
House Spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, asked for comment, replied only: “Natalie
Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump's
team.”
Natalie
Harp was formerly a right-wing cable television host and had been on Trump’s
radar since 2019, when her story of cancer survival caught his attention. He
invited her to speak at the 2020 Republican National Convention and she went on
to join his staff in 2022.
Her
closeness with the president features in the book Regime Change: Inside the
Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman
and Jonathan Swan.
Based on
interviews with hundreds of sources, the book outlines how Natalie Harp has
stayed close to Trump for years, including after he lost the 2020 election and
decamped to Florida, according to an excerpt.
While on
the golf course, she provided him with “positive news stories and social media
comments.” She is widely reported to be the person behind Trump’s Truth Social
posts, including some of the most controversial, and has been known to pen
uplifting notes to the president, leaving them for him to find in “personal
spaces.” One read: “You are all that matters to me.”
The
dynamic between the two was so strange that Susie Wiles, White House Chief of
Staff, reportedly thought to herself, “Where am I?” according to the book.
White
House spokesman Kush Desai defended Natalie Harp in a previous statement to The
Independent.
