President Donald Trump’s adoring aide didn’t stray too far as he met with world leaders at a high-level summit in Turkey.
Natalie Harp, the president’s 34-year-old “human printer,” was part of his posse at a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the NATO summit in Ankara on Wednesday.
Trump, 80, was joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as they discussed the war in Ukraine with Zelensky.
Seated behind them was Harp, who was captured in the background just feet away from Trump.
Harp, a onetime anchor and host for the right-wing news network One America News, has no official title but has long been glued to Trump’s side.
She earned her moniker “human printer” by following Trump around, fulfilling his every request, including fetching merchandise, performing Google searches, printing stories from right-wing websites, and suggesting possible Truth Social posts.
Author and longtime Trump biographer Michael Wolff previously revealed that Harp wields great power in the president’s inner circle.
“Everything that he reads is funneled through Natalie Harp because she’s the human printer,” Wolff told Inside Trump’s Head co-host Joanna Coles.
“The stuff that she prints out is this laudatory stuff. Anything laudatory, she’s searching for at all times and then giving to the president,” he added. “Other things that will cause him ire—actually, that would be her agenda. So things that cause her ire—that will also cause the president ire—that goes to him.”
But Harp’s printouts aren’t all business. Reporting by Wolff and White House correspondents Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan have shown that she also slips in cringeworthy notes to the president, including one that read, “You are all that matters to me.”
The message was so bizarre that Susie Wiles, who would later become Trump’s White House chief of staff, asked herself, “Where am I?” according to Haberman and Swan, authors of Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.
Wolff also said there was a widespread concern within Trump’s orbit over Harp’s love letters.
“Natalie Harp’s story is a piece of work,” he said. “Everybody was in a major kerfuffle over this, including the Secret Service warning the president of the United States, or warning aides to the president whose job it was then to bring to the president whether they did or not, that they saw her as a danger to herself and to him.”
“Those notes, the Natalie Harp notes, were passed to me by other aides of the president who were equally as appalled by this,” Wolff added. “And that’s one of the things that exists, currently, in the Trump White House, this tension that this is a person who the president has allowed to become really his closest confidant.”
Natalie’s estranged brother, Preston, earlier told the Daily Beast that an ideology of “American exceptionalism” drilled into them by their homeschooling parents is to blame for her infatuation with Trump.
“She thinks that the whitewashing of history is actually a ‘correction,’ like Trump,” Preston told the Daily Beast. “My sister and I were raised to believe in U.S. exceptionalism from childhood through high school, and that is exactly what Trump embodies.”
“For me, it doesn’t seem strange at all that she is so obsessed with working with him and serving the objectives of U.S. exceptionalism.”
