Jon Ossoff Explains Why He Namechecked Trump’s Blonde Aide, 35

MSNBC Rising Democrat star Jon Ossoff has explained why he name-checked Donald Trump’s young blonde aide at an election rally, sparking a MAGA meltdown.

The Georgia senator mentioned Natalie Harp, 35, who is an executive assistant and personal aide to the 80-year-old president, during a re-election rally in Atlanta on Sunday.

Harp, who joined Trump for a weekend Vegas getaway earlier this month and was spotted by his side golfing the last two weekends, is known in White House circles as “the human printer” for her role in shadowing the president, printing out news stories for him to read and helping write his Truth Social posts.

At Sunday’s rally, Ossoff, 39, listed the ways Trump is failing in office, including that he “sleeps through his meetings,” plays golf, trades stocks, and “drains our munitions and oil reserves” on an unnecessary war.

Harp also scored a mention.

“See, he doesn’t want to do the job,” Ossoff said.

“He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.” The gibe sparked a MAGA meltdown and saw the president lash out in the Oval Office on Monday, dismissing Ossoff as “a Pee-wee Herman lookalike.” During an appearance on MSNBC’s The Briefing on Monday, host Jen Psaki asked Ossoff why he’d “invoked” Harp’s name at his rally.

The Democrat avoided mentioning Harp by name, and instead pointed out that even though Trump’s war with Iran is leading to political instability and rising oil prices, he “retreats into this bubble of West Wing aides who are his security blanket to make him feel good about himself.” Ossoff said Trump’s lackeys “reassure him that he’s doing a great job to help him while he designs his new ballroom and he adorns the Oval Office in gold....” Psaski then directly asked Ossoff again why he specifically referenced Harp, noting it was not news that Trump was “surrounded by sycophants.” She added that referencing the young aide by name raised “more questions” about her.

“Well, I’ve heard this particular aide referred to as his security blanket,” Ossoff said of Harp, again not mentioning her by name.

“And I think we could say that about any number of the senior aides in the White House.

They’re not telling him what he needs to hear.

They’re telling him what he wants to hear.
