Donald Trump's glamorous aide Natalie Harp allegedly left a six-word love note for him in the White House earlier this year, declaring 'You are all that matters to me,' according to explosive claims in a new book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. The authors of Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump say the 34-year-old staffer has become one of the closest figures in the President's orbit, shaping his social media output and even the economic data he prefers to see.
After weeks of speculation about Harp's role, and the nature of her access to Trump, as reported excerpts from the book collided with a wall of silence from the Trump camp. Haberman and Swan describe a relationship in which a relatively junior aide has, allegedly, been allowed to overrule Cabinet-level officials on trade statistics and feed the president a stream of flattering commentary, at a time when his inner circle has grown notably smaller and more deferential.
