Senator's insult puts Trump's 'human printer' in the headlines
Officially, Natalie Harp is Donald Trump's "executive assistant" and "special assistant". But in some Washington circles, she is less kindly known as his "human printer".
Natalie Harp has long been known in certain Washington circles as Donald Trump's "human printer." Her role in Trump's 2024 election campaign entourage often involved carrying a portable printer to print flattering social media posts and positive news articles about the president throughout the day. However, Harp has found herself at the center of controversy due to a recent comment from Democratic senator Jon Ossoff, who disparaged Trump during a rally.
Ossoff suggested that Trump wanted to build his ballroom and travel with Harp, describing her as "apparently defenceless" and part of Trump's "apparently defenceless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar." The comment sparked outrage among many Americans on the right, who accused Ossoff of implying an inappropriate relationship between Trump and Harp.
The White House responded with anger, defending Harp as one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides on Trump's team.
