Although not the most prominent member of Donald Trump’s inner circle, her influence is unmistakable.

She is considered so essential that she’s earned the nickname “unfireable.”

Who is Natalie Harp?

The Guardian suggests there are various ways to get close to Donald Trump and secure a job in his inner circle. One method? Be young, blonde, and so infatuated with the president that even the Secret Service feels uncomfortable. This approach appears to have worked for Natalie Harp, a former far-right cable host who is now an official aide to Trump.

So, who is Natalie Harp, the woman seemingly growing increasingly close to the President of the United States?

Born in 1991, Natalie Harp is currently 33-34 years old. She hails from a conservative Christian family in California.

Her father works as an estate agent and founded a marketing and branding consultancy for travel companies. He also led an “office of innovation” at a private Christian university.

From 2009 to 2012, Natalie attended Point Loma Nazarene University, a Christian liberal arts college in San Diego. In 2015, she earned an MBA from Liberty University, an evangelical institution in Virginia.

With Trump on his daily golf outings

In 2019, Harp, a bone cancer survivor, told Fox News that Trump’s “Right to Try” law had saved her life.

She later joined his presidential campaign and spoke at the Republican National Convention, likening Trump to George Bailey from It’s a Wonderful Life.

She said, “Without you, I’d have died waiting for [experimental drugs] to be approved.”

Experts, including former FDA official Peter Lurie and health sciences professor Jeremy Snyder, questioned Harp’s claims, pointing out that she had received an FDA-approved immunotherapy drug for an unapproved use—something permitted even before the “Right to Try” law.

After the election, Harp joined One America News Network, a far-right, pro-Trump cable channel known for promoting conspiracy theories. She frequently supported Trump’s false claims that the election had been stolen.

In 2022, Harp left One America News Network to join Trump’s communications team. According to The Washington Post, she frequently accompanied him on his daily golf outings, riding in a cart equipped with a laptop and printer to show him favorable news articles and online posts.

She later joined Trump’s 2024 campaign, where The Bulwark reported she was behind a controversial Truth Social post referencing a “unified Reich,” which was deleted hours later. Harp also posted messages on Trump’s behalf and sent heated texts in his name to a major campaign donor, criticizing those running her super PAC. At the time, the group was spending millions on campaign ads in key states.

Natalie Harp nickname

Natalie Harp has been dubbed the “Human Printer” for her role in printing news clips for Trump. She often follows him with a portable printer and battery pack, sometimes even running after him on the golf course to hand him hard copies of flattering coverage.

According to The Times, which spoke with anonymous sources, Harp’s main task is delivering only positive, unchallenged news about Trump. Much of this content reportedly comes from Gateway Pundit, a far-right website notorious for spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation.

In Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power, Axios reporter Alex Isenstadt explores how Harp embedded herself in Trump’s inner circle. According to excerpts shared by the Daily Mail, she frequently overstepped limits.

“Harp didn’t do well with boundaries,” Isenstadt wrote.

Melania Trump was once startled to find Harp late at night in Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago quarters, an area usually restricted to family.

“Harp was there to deliver documents and didn’t want to wait until morning,” Isenstadt explained.

In Michael Wolff’s latest book on Trump, the “Natalie situation” reportedly escalated to the point where Secret Service agents saw her as “a potential danger to herself as well as to the president.”

Isenstadt also described another unsettling incident where Harp wandered into Trump’s empty bedroom aboard Trump Force One while the plane was being used as a decoy.

New nickname

Opinions vary on calling Natalie Harp a “walking printer”—some find it harsh, while others see it as a lighthearted nod to her dedication.

However, she has now earned a more intense label. Her unwavering devotion during the campaign led rivals to compare her to Glenn Close’s obsessive character, Alex Forrest, from Fatal Attraction.

“Before long, Trump advisers jokingly began to compare Harp to Alex Forrest, the character played by Glenn Close in the 1987 movie Fatal Attraction,” Isenstadt writes in his book, highlighting how her loyalty to Trump became a point of concern among insiders.

“Forrest became obsessed with a married man and, in the film’s most infamous scene, broke into his house and boiled the family’s pet rabbit,” Isenstadt noted.

While sources called Harp the campaign’s biggest “migraine,” Trump wasn’t bothered. He brought her from Florida to the White House.

“Harp was his Girl Friday,” Isenstadt wrote.

“If Trump wanted to post a fiery rant on Truth Social, Natalie was there to send it. If he wanted to read a glowing but questionable article from a pro-Trump outlet, she printed it out. If he needed to forward a news story to a Republican lawmaker, Natalie texted it for him,” Isenstadt wrote.

Despite frustration among senior staff, they recognized one thing: “As much as those in the senior ranks wanted Natalie gone, they knew she was unfireable,” he added.
