I hope things will ‘always be right between us,’ Trump aide Natalie Harp writes in letter: report

  • Natalie Harp , President Donald Trump’s fiercely loyal aide , once wrote a letter to him in which she gushed about wanting “things to always be right between us,” according to a report.
  • Harp, the 35-year-old aide who is constantly seen by the president’s side, reportedly wrote to Trump that she had been “forgetting to eat” and “even forgetting to sleep” as she gushed to him about a trip to Scotland, according to The New York Times , which obtained a copy of the letter.
  • Harp's close proximity and loyalty to President Trump have reportedly unnerved some White House colleagues, with reporter Maggie Haberman describing her as his comfort blanket.
  • White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Harp as one of the hardest-working aides on the team, while White House Communications Director Steve Cheung launched a forceful defense against criticisms from Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff.
  • Harp joined President Trump's staff in 2022 after crediting him with saving her life by signing right-to-try legislation during his first term that allowed her to access experimental bone cancer treatments.
