Trump, 80, Accused of 'Very Unhealthy' Relationship With Blonde Aide, 34

Trump’s closest aide—50 years younger than the president—follows him around day and night.

White House aide Natalie Harp’s obsession with Donald Trump has become so severe that her own brother has spoken out.

Preston Harp, 38, the estranged brother of Trump’s favorite personal assistant, blasted the 80-year-old president and his too-close-for-comfort bond with Preston’s 34-year-old sister.

In an interview with The Daily Mail, Preston called Trump a “national embarrassment” and said his sister’s relationship with him is “very unhealthy.”

“She’s just like his fan club,” Preston said.

Given she is "trusted" around him--presumably without SS in immediate attendance--things could go South very quickly. Trump, after all, is known for frequently turning on a dime toward those loyal to him.

8. Trump Team Is Pissed at Aide Secretly Enabling Crazed Nighttime Rants

There have been fewer typos and misspelled words is trump's posts lately but there are still weird capitalizations and strange phrasing. I have suspected that someone is helping trump in these posts. It seems that a trump "employee" stays up late to help trump in these posts.

An unequivocal irresponsible MORON

Trump Team Is Pissed at Aide Secretly Enabling Crazed Nighttime Rants

Harp doesn't share her drafts with anyone else in White House but the president, claiming she works for him & only him, reported the WSJ.

https://newrepublic.com/post/210363/donald-trump-team-pissed-aide-nighttime-social-media

Even the president’s inner circle is tiring of his erratic, late-night social media binges—and the White House aide responsible for them.

Donald Trump’s executive assistant Natalie Harp is the woman behind his overnight Truth Social sprees, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. Through twilight-hour shifts, Harp has created the impression that the president never sleeps and is instead spending his should-be bedtime obsessively retweeting baseless conspiracies about the 2020 presidential election and Fox News headlines about his purported popularity among the American public.

The 34-year-old aide supplies the president with stacks of printed-out drafts and awaits his approval before hitting post, sources told the Journal.

Her work has included posts that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, and an AI-generated image of Trump as Jesus Christ. Trump took down both posts after they spurred immense public backlash. In the former instance, Trump claimed he did not see the section of the video that racistly mocked the former president and first lady. A White House official blamed the mistake on an editing error.

The frustration lies partly in the perceived chain of command: Harp does not share her drafts with anyone else in the White House but the president, claiming that she works for him and only him, reported the Journal. That’s prompted tensions between Harp and some of the federal employees affected by her incendiary writing, such as the chief of staff’s office.

I have no doubt that trump's relationship with this lady goes beyond late nights editing of internet posts.

I find it hard to that he is. I hear viagra can work wonders, but in a dude who looks as far gone as he does? I just don't know.

I have no doubt that he did all the awful things he's been accused of doing in the part, but that was then and this is now. Michael Wolff has described the current version of Schlump as "post-sexual," and I find that pretty believable. I can't imagine him havng the strength to swat a fly these days, much less grab a 😸.

Regardless of what that relationship may or may not consist of, I wonder how long it'll be before he turns on her. Nobody stays in his good graces forever, except maybe his kids, who he probably sees as projections of himself.

I have some sympathy for Ivanka because i can imagine what she faced as a child. Abused and groomed for sure

But this is straight giving up decency for an extra dollar. Freakish subservience.

Are people like her and Leavitt Epstein victims and have some serious Stockholm Syndrome?

She's a Liberty University grad too, says alot about her critical thinking.
