The bizarre behaviour of US President Donald Trump's trusted aide Natalie Harp during his 2024 campaign has been revealed in a new book. Harp who has found a place in the president's inner circle is almost "unfireable" given her current rapport with Trump.
In Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump's Return to Power, Axios' Alex Isenstadt recalled that Harp sent several "obsessive" letters to Trump and even rammed her car into a Secret Service vehicle. The book will be launched on March 18.
President-elect Donald Trump plans to bring Natalie Harp to the White House.

She has been described as an ultra-loyal aide who has been by his side, notably for her role in managing his social media posts and keeping him updated on various topics.

Isenstadt said the Secret Service accessed a series of letters addressed to Trump and handwritten by Natalie. The contents of the letters revealed that she was "obsessive, adoring and desperate" for Trump's approval.
However, the White House dismissed the book as "pure malicious falsehoods", saying it should be dumped in a trash can and set on fire.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said Harp is "one of the most dedicated individuals in Trump World".
Why is Natalie Harp called a 'human printer'?
Natalie Harp earned the nickname 'Human Printer' because she carries a wireless mini printer along with paper and rechargeable batteries to print emails and news stories for Trump on the go. This is because Trump, 77, prefers to read emails, news articles and social media posts in printed form instead of smartphones.
In his book, Isenstadt said Harp once apologised to Trump for allegedly chasing the Republican leader on foot as he drove in his golf cart during a trip to Scotland's Aberdeen.
Saying she always wants things to be right between them, Harp wrote to Trump, "I also know I've been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time)..."
"I'm sorry I lost my focus. You are all that matters to me. I don't want to ever let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life," she added.
In another letter, Harp wrote that no one knows or cares about her more than Trump. "And please, when I fail, will you tell me? You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it," she wrote.
Harp had also reportedly had an altercation with first son Eric Trump for "back-channelling" with Trump Organization employees, resulting in a stern warning from him.
