A wave of online speculation surrounding President Donald Trump and his longtime aide Natalie Harp has reignited debate over the influence of the President's inner circle. Social media users have circulated claims ranging from rumours of a personal relationship to allegations that Harp plays an unusually powerful role inside the White House.
At the same time, some critics have pushed an entirely different narrative, arguing without evidence that affair rumours are distracting from questions about Trump's health. While these claims have spread widely online, none have been substantiated, and there is no verified evidence confirming either an affair or claims that the President is terminally ill.
