Donald Trump has repeatedly fueled affair rumors with aide Natalie Harp due to their speculated “closeness” and the latter sticking close to him on almost all occasions. The recent development suggests that he also chose her to travel with him on a decoy jet to escape an assassination threat by Iran.

According to reports, Natalie accompanied Trump when he left the Air Force One to travel on a decoy jet via a catering truck. An insider also revealed to The Daily Mail that he is “closer” to Natalie than to anyone else on his team.

Natalie Harp’s Close Relationship With Donald Trump Commands Attention

Giving an insight into Harp’s relationship with the president, the source said, “There is no one closer to the president on his team.” She became a part of a selective group that was chosen by him to leave a NATO summit by a military flight because of a speculated Iranian assassination threat.

A report in The Washington Post revealed that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino and Oval Office Operations Director Walt Nauta also accompanied the POTUS to travel in the military jet.

The publication stated that the U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boarded the Air Force 32-A through its staircase “in a manner that made him look like the senior-most official aboard the flight.”

Reportedly, the entire action was done in an extremely confidential manner so that many White House staffers were also not aware that Donald Trump was not on the Air Force One.

Harp Was Reportedly Trump’s First Choice To Travel On The Decoy Jet

The Daily Mail quoted a source close to the development to call Trump’s selection of Harp a “no-brainer.” Another insider who was aware of the incident revealed to the publication that the former television host was his first choice to travel with him on the decoy jet.

This is not the first time that Natalie Harp’s closeness with the president has commanded attention. There has been speculation that the 35-year-old is extremely close to him, which has often fueled rumors of an affair and has reportedly left Melania Trump fuming.

In his book, All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America, author Michael Wolff mentioned that Harp’s “obsession” with the POTUS became so severe that it left some members of the White House inner circle and the Secret Service extremely alarmed.

New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan have revealed an alarming detail in their book, Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump that the former One America News Network staffer had left handwritten letters for Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign that read, “You are all that matters to me.”

Apart from this, Natalie Harp has also gained the bizarre nickname of the “human printer” because she repeatedly follows the president with a portable device to print emails, news articles and social media posts, primarily for his Truth Social account, which often stirs up controversy.

Another insider close to the MAGA inner sphere referred to Harp, Dan Scavino and Walt Nauta as the “three musketeers” of the POTUS who are said to repeatedly remain by his side.
