Senator Ossoff Criticizes President Trump's Relationship with Aide Natalie Harp, Sparking White House Response

At that time, Harp, recovering from bone cancer, credited President Trump's signing of the Right to Try Act as pivotal to her recovery, allowing terminally ill patients access to experimental treatments.

Natalie Harp's Role as President Trump's Executive Assistant Draws Scrutiny

Natalie Harp's Role as President Trump's Executive Assistant Draws Scrutiny

Natalie Harp, President Trump's executive assistant, has garnered increased attention for her close proximity and unique role in his 2024 campaign and post-presidency activities. Often referred to as 'the human printer,' Harp is responsible for typing President Trump's Truth Social posts, dictating his thoughts, and providing him with printed articles, primarily from right-wing news sources. Her dedication to President Trump reportedly began in 2019 after she publicly thanked him for championing 'right to try' laws, which she claimed helped her access experimental treatments for bone cancer. Despite reports from The Washington Post disputing the direct impact of these laws on her specific treatment, Harp has remained a fiercely loyal aide, serving on his 2020 campaign advisory board and working for One America News Network. Her constant presence and perceived influence have led to speculation and discussion among political observers and in the media.

President Trump Criticizes Fox News Host Shannon Bream with Misspelled 'Milktoast' Insult

President Trump Criticizes Fox News Host Shannon Bream with Misspelled 'Milktoast' Insult

President Trump recently used the misspelled insult 'Milktoast' to criticize Fox News host Shannon Bream on Truth Social. This marks the second time Trump has used this incorrect spelling, intending to convey 'milquetoast,' meaning a timid or feeble person. The criticism stemmed from Bream's show, 'Fox News Sunday,' airing what Trump described as 'outdated footage' of the White House ballroom construction. Trump defended the construction as a significant project and accused Bream's show of being 'biased against MAGA, 'TRUMP,' and Republicans.' He further stated that Bream should have shown 'updated pictures instead of ones that were so old and irrelevant.' This incident follows a previous instance in June when Trump first used the 'Milktoast' insult after Bream reported on immigration enforcement numbers comparable to the Obama administration.

Melania Trump Reportedly in 'Secret Power Struggle' with White House Aide Natalie Harp, Biographer Claims

According to President Trump's biographer Michael Wolff, Melania Trump is engaged in a "secret power struggle" with White House aide Natalie Harp, who has become an increasingly constant presence alongside President Trump. Wolff, in his Substack newsletter, claims that Harp's "central presence" in President Trump's life explains Melania's infrequent public appearances with her husband, particularly during the 2024 campaign. Wolff states that Melania would not appear if Harp was around, leading to her near-absence from campaign events until the final week. He further asserts that "Harp superseded the White House staff and, as well, his wife and family," suggesting that access to President Trump was controlled through Harp. The report also details Harp's extreme measures to stay close to President Trump, including sleeping in the maids' quarters and then the women's locker room when President Trump moved his campaign operations. Additionally, a new book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonatha...
