Altered photo posted by Trump shows Xi welcome with only aide Natalie Harp in background
A photo posted to Truth Social showing Donald Trump greeting Chinese President Xi Jinping appears to have digitally removed both first ladies, leaving only Natalie Harp visible on the tarmac.
President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated image on Truth Social depicting his airport welcome for Chinese President Xi Jinping, which appears to have digitally removed several attendees, leaving only Trump and Xi. The image, which was shared on Thursday, shows the two leaders standing alone on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, with military jets passing overhead.
However, the actual footage of the event showed Trump and Xi were joined by First Lady Melania Trump and Chinese First Lady Peng Liyuan. Neither the White House nor Trump has commented on the altered image. Natalie Harp, a close aide to Trump who has been a constant presence at his side since his return to office, has been speculated to be the individual visible in the AI-altered image.
Harp, a former host for the pro-Trump outlet Real America's Voice, manages Trump's schedule, paperwork, and access to reporters and visitors, often standing beside him at public appearances.
