The intimate letters written to US President Donald Trump’s aide by his aide Natalie Harp have revealed how she feels “unworthy” of Trump, who “was all that mattered to me”.
“We shouldn’t have to talk about work all the time!!” Harp tells Trump in a letter.
This comes as reports emerged that Harp was one of the small number of people who accompanied Trump on the military plane from Turkey, a decoy operation which saw him fleeing Air Force One in a catering truck. Interestingly, the plane did not carry Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
“You are all that matters to me. I don’t want to ever let you down,” Harp writes to Trump in one of the letters published by Daily Beast. The letters were written in 2023 when Harp accompanied Trump on a trip to Scotland and Ireland. She was 31, and Trump was 76.
“I want that job!!” she writes in the letter, saying she missed the days when he would call “and we’d talk about everything and nothing.” “We shouldn’t have to talk about work all the time!!” she tells Trump.
In one letter, Harp launches into a string of apologies to Trump, before declaring: "I never want to bring you anything but joy. 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 adds, mimicking the president's trademark capitalisation style.
"You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more," she writes.
In the letters, Harp also referred to herself by the nickname “Human Printer”. She was reportedly given that name because she printed out positive stories and reports for the president.
The two letters were handed to author and Inside Trump’s Head host Michael Wolff while he was writing his best-selling book, All or Nothing, which chronicled Trump’s 2024 campaign.
According to Wolff, these letters are a red flag. "This is all wrong," Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles. "Just the extraordinary nature of an aide—and theoretically a lower level aide—writing this kind of... heartfelt letter to the candidate, a man... running to be the president of the United States."
However, White House spokesman Davis Ingle has responded to the letters, calling Natalie Harp one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides on President Trump’s team. “The Fake News’s continued attacks on President Trump and his Administration prove exactly why trust in media is at historic lows. The media should get back to reporting real news and stop regurgitating Trump-Deranged liberal talking points,” the Daily Beast quoted him.
