Opinion: Here’s the Real Role Natalie Harp Fills in Trump’s White House

The perky blonde 35-year-old is forever at our octogenarian president’s side, her bright eyes beaming.
She first came to the world’s attention as “The Human Printer,” an aide who traveled with Trump during his years in exile at Mar-A-Lago.
