Trump Insider Reveals Natalie Harp’s Secret to Winning Over Trump

Lionel Urman/SIPA/Shutterstock / Lionel Urman/SIPA/Shutterstock For many, details of Donald Trump’s peculiarly close relationship with his 35-year-old aide, Natalie Harp, have been hard to stomach.

But for others, the love letters she’s penned to him, the images of her sprinting after him in a golf cart, and the access she has to his personal cellphone aren’t so surprising.

That’s according to Sarah Matthews, Trump’s deputy press secretary during his first term, who argued in an essay penned for The Bulwark on Thursday that the key to winning Trump’s favor is unwavering, shameless devotion.

“Long before Harp sprinted down the fairways of a Scottish golf course in an effort to catch up with Trump’s motorcade, I heard plenty of stories about the absurd lengths people went to for ‘the boss,’” Matthews, who resigned from the Trump administration on Jan.

Matthews detailed instances in which staffers steamed Trump’s pants while he was wearing them, occasions when he instructed his sycophants to steal mirrors from events “if he thought they made him look especially flatteringly slim,” and one encounter where he asked aides to steal sculptures from the U.S. embassy in London.

“While their relationship is deeply bizarre, I think Harp simply understands just how Trump operates,” she wrote.

“He wants emotional support blankets; he wants people who never push back; he wants to be put on a pedestal.

Harp is just better at the game than anyone else . . . for now.” Matthews, who testified against Trump to the Jan.

6 committee, noted that currying favor with her former boss also had its downfalls.

“During my time in Trump 1.0, knife-fighting among White House staff constantly went on behind the scenes,” she wrote, noting that the leaks about Harp appear to be an echo of the infighting that plagued Trump’s first administration.

“The steady stream of leaks about Harp tells me some of her colleagues clearly have it out for her,” she added.

A White House spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

Reports have swirled that several members of Trump’s inner circle—including his own family members—have sought to sow distance between the president and his devoted aide, to no avail.
