Concerning letters from Donald Trump aide 'the human printer' to president resurface

Donald Trump's relationship with his secretary is hitting headlines once again after her newly released letters emphasised her devotion to the 80-year-old president.

Natalie Harp's adoration towards Trump seemingly began in 2020 when she credited him for saving her life as he passed the Right to Try Act, which gave patients access to more experimental treatments, which subsequently ended up working on her bone cancer.

"When I failed the chemotherapies that were on the market, no-one wanted me in their clinical trials," she said at the 2020 Republican National Convention.

"They didn't give me the right to try experimental treatments, Mr President. You did, and without you, I'd have died waiting for them to be approved."

Harp quickly grew in prominence and caught Trump's eye when she 'lit up the television screen', which later saw her become his personal secretary in 2023 after joining his presidential campaign in 2022. Her resurfaced letters to the president certainly suggest that they have become close over the last few years.

During a trip to Scotland in 2023, she wrote a letter apologising to the president for 'embarrassing' him after she ran behind his golf cart when no other carts were available.

The letter said: "I also am sorry if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland."

The New York Times have now published some other correspondences sent by the 35-year-old, in which she makes it clear that she will do anything to ensure that she can perform her role well, which included sacrificing food and sleep for several days.

One letter read: "I want things to always be right between us. I also know I've been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time)."

She signs off: "With all my heart, Natalie."

Journalist Michael Wolff also claims that she spent the summer of 2023 sleeping in the women's locker room at Trump's Bedminster club to ensure that she could be close to him and respond quicker should he ever need anything.

Her influence has only grown since Trump returned to the White House, with one source suggesting that she was 'always around', and she's often seen carrying large stacks of papers for the president to read, which has earned her the nickname 'the human printer', which is maybe the worst superhero name ever.

Another described her as Trump's 'comfort blanket' after she earned a spot on his secret plane earlier this year ahead of some of his own cabinet secretaries, with the 80-year-old switching planes following an Iranian assassination threat.

She's even earned the honourable role of being the president's scribe when it comes to his controversial Truth Social posts, although it's unknown if she got any of the blame after the racist video post aimed at the Obamas earlier this year.

But it seems as if Harp sometimes oversteps the mark as she was seen in the private quarters of the president's Mar-A-Lago residence late at night, in an area limited to just family, although she insisted that she was simply delivering documents. I'll let you make your own judgement on that.

However, it seems as if Trump isn't the first president to earn Harp's affection, as her brother also admitted to CNN that when she was a teenager, she sent letters a to president George Bush during the Iraq war.
