Report: Natalie Harp Posted Trump’s Statement on Aides’ Bosnia Work

Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters Donald Trump’s desperate Truth Social post that tried to distance him from two advisers who helped a pro-Russian regime was written and posted by Natalie Harp, it has been revealed.

On Wednesday, the 80-year-old president threw two of his longtime political aides—Chris LaCivita and James Blair—under the bus after a damning New York Times report revealed they had traveled to Republika Srpska, a small, self-governing area of Bosnia and Herzegovina, for paid work to offer advice on how to win an upcoming election.

“Chris LaCivita and James Blair are outside consultants.

They do not work for me, other than as outside consultants,” Trump posted on Tuesday amid immediate outrage at the report.

“They are allowed to do work for others, just like all consultants in Washington, D.C.

I do not have any idea who else they work for but will, on reflection, ask them and, if there’s a conflict, I will terminate them, immediately!” Trump was not even aware that LaCivita and Blair had traveled to the Balkans to help the pro-Putin government, Politico’s Playbook reported.

After seeking opinions from other advisers, Trump dictated his Truth Social post to Harp, who typed it up and shared it online.

Harp, who earns $150,000 a year as an executive assistant, is widely credited with assisting Trump’s frantic social media output.

This includes getting him to approve cringe-worthy AI-generated images and videos, and then logging into his account to reshare them en masse.

Harp is reportedly the person who posted the racist video shared by Trump depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes , as well as the blasphemous image of Trump as Jesus.

The Truth Social post Trump dictated to Harp on Wednesday was an extraordinary attempt by the president to back away from two of his top political lieutenants.

LaCivita co-managed his 2024 presidential campaign alongside White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, while Blair worked for Trump’s 2020 campaign in Florida and served as political director of Trump’s 2024 bid.

Blair later served as White House deputy chief of staff, although he is currently on a leave of absence to lead MAGA Inc., the Trump-backed super PAC.

LaCivita and Blair have been highly criticized among the “Make America Great Again” crowd for being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide services to a foreign government during the crucial run-up to the Nov.
