Trump's Staff Swapped X-Rated Question About Natalie: Author

Ken Cedeno/Reuters Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign staff questioned whether he was “spanking” Natalie Harp , the president’s longtime biographer has alleged.

Trump’s staff joked about him “patting” his assistant, then in her early 30s, in places aside from her head, the author Michael Wolff tells the Inside Trump’s Head Podcast .

“Actually, within the campaign they joked about him patting her somewhere else,” Wolff said on Thursday’s episode.

“‘Has the boss been spanking Natalie?’” Co-host Joanna Coles asked Wolff if that is what staffers would ask among themselves.

Wolff confirmed, “Yes.

Yeah, no, everyone was aware.

This was upfront, the strangeness of this relationship, the strangeness of her submissiveness to him.

And, you know, because it actually put everyone else into—everyone else who has to be submissive to the president seemed not submissive enough because of how extreme her submissiveness was.” Coles then joked, “So they were out-submitting each other.” Reached for comment, the White House told the Daily Beast, “Michael Wolff is a professional scumbag and serial liar whose brain has been completely warped by his severe and incurable disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Wolff’s bombshell claim came in the same episode that he made public a pair of fawning letters that Harp penned to Trump during or immediately after a visit to Scotland in 2023.

“You are all that matters to me,” Harp wrote to Trump in one of the letters.

“I don’t want to ever let you down.” Questions are now swirling over the national security implications of 35-year-old Harp’s status as the 80-year-old Trump’s most significant gatekeeper—one reportedly being used as a conduit to the president by foreign leaders.

A former host on the right-wing One America News Network, Harp now makes $150,000 annually as the president’s executive assistant.

That role reportedly includes posting to Truth Social on the president’s behalf.

She is also seen as a firewall between the president and the outside world, since much of what he reads and responds to comes via what Harp prints out for him.

Reports say she is now screening his calls from other world leaders, though she initially refused to secure a basic security clearance.
