President Donald Trump called senior aide Natalie Harp onto the stage at a Nebraska campaign rally on Monday, 5 October, then appeared to fix his gaze on her legs as she walked away, seconds after describing her as a 'perfect person'. The moment came as he signed an executive order expanding access to tax-free red-dyed diesel, and footage of it spread quickly online.
The rally at the Nebraska State Fair's Pinnacle Bank Expo Center in Grand Island was meant to boost US Sen. Pete Ricketts, Gov. Jim Pillen, and the state's Republican ticket ahead of the 3 November midterm elections. Harp, rarely far from the president's side, walked out to cheers and handed him the order. Trump signed it, threw the pen into the crowd, then patted her on the shoulder as she left.
