The White House has branded comedian Rosie O’Donnell a “total slob” after she joked on late night television that Natalie Harp, Donald Trump’s devoted executive assistant, tucks the president into bed at night.
O’Donnell’s quip, made Wednesday night during her stint as a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, comes as Trump’s 35-year-old aide has been at the center of intense media and public scrutiny over her unusually close relationship with and proximity to the president. The comedian opened the episode wishing viewers “a special hello to those of you watching from home and from the White House.”
