Meet Natalie Harp, Trump's wretched MAGAt troll, who's behind his "middle of the night" social media splooges

[Miles Archer]

Most nights, the president fires off dozens of posts attacking his political enemies, amplifying conspiracy theories, spreading AI-slop videos and images, and boosting offensive content from obscure MAGA accounts on X and his own Truth Social platform.

But despite the odd hours, Trump isn’t doing it all alone, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal.

His executive assistant Natalie Harp is the driving force behind some of his most incendiary content, including a racist video that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, and an AI-generated image of Trump as Jesus Christ, both of which Trump later took down.

Harp, who is in her mid-30s, brings the president stacks of printed-out drafts of social media posts—many of them recycling content from other accounts—for Trump to approve, sources told the Journal.

1. She seems nice. Just his type, physically and emotionally.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

[Miles Archer]

2. They're in it for the notoriety, I guess

Cheung seems to relish the vulgar, combative, "your MOTHER" troll posts.

Others know that Trump's message is divisive, and they like to be the one swinging the hammer and driving that spike.

All of these people are convinced Trump's toxicity is only gonna hurt the libs, and that they're on some kind of plateau where they'll remain unscathed.

[chicoescuela]

4. Right, first rule is to own the libs.

Seems like a successful strategy, the dumb shit does aggravates me

[MadameButterfly]

17. Nice has nothing to do with it

She's pretty. That's a requirement to be a woman working with Trump. He can't see past that. These are the criteria that are running our country.

[Niagara]

21. He/she/they "seem nice" isn't always about pleasantries pertaining to individuals

It can be used in a sarcastic tone about unpleasant, horrible, or disagreeable individuals.

[chicoescuela]

62. Exactly my intent

[Niagara]

63. I say that frequently myself

So I picked up on your intent.

[YodaMom2]

37. Pretty and white.

That second part is a must.

[paleotn]

43. Barbie type.

With about as much cerebral horsepower as a plastic doll.

[MadameButterfly]

48. Yes, but Cassidy Hutchinson slipped past their scrutiny

Perhaps they'll make sure the pretty women from now on aren't also smart.

[paleotn]

44. Money. She'll do anything for money.

And given her probable lack of intellect and scruples, her options are limited.

[Festivito]

61. Nice house. Nobody home.

Perfect for president pervert.

[FalloutShelter]

3. How is this okay on any level?

Old man with dementia and zero filters and impulse control is being fed a steady diet of garbage to post in the middle of the night?

WTAF is going on here? Why is this not a bigger story? Who is running her?
When does she prompt him to post about a nuclear attack on another country?

[haele]

12. If she's the one posting the Xtian Nationalist BS -

She's like Hucklebee, Paula White, Kegsbreath, Falwell et al ...
Gezus is coming, so we need to look busy doing the Lords work smiting infidels and heretics, purifying the Promise Land before Armeggeddon.
That, and grift as much money and power as we can while the World ship is going down, because we're all gonna die.
They are selfish, nihilistic people who need to feel special, and cannot conceive that the World can contain anyone other than themselves. They are the Protagonists in their own story, and everyone else -their parents, their spouses, their kids, their BFFs - are all NPCs.

[harumph]

13. You're right. On its face it's crazy. And it should be a bigger story - but here we are.

It is as you allude, completely inappropriate. I do know that when this fever is over we need to fund a PAC of "hounds" to follow the various enablers on social media and elsewhere and make them miserable, unemployable and desperate until they die. They have shamelessly betrayed everyone in this country with their crass ambitions. I have come to believe that forgiveness is wasted on those without the willingness to change and it just enables more of this crap in the next election cycle.

[Hey Joe]

16. I know, right?!!!

If ANY previous president had even come close to what this thing is doing, they would have been hounded out of office by the media and the public.
We have gone insane in this country due to moral bankruptcy and social media platforms.
Just how bad does it have to get before more people and organizations speak out?

[ShazzieB]

73. It may be working up to being a huge story.

Looks like it's just getting started. I did a quick Google and found many places where it's already shown up.

[Lovie777]

5. shithole early morning rants were in complete spelled correctly sentences................

off the wall, evil, hateful, and as I assumed written by someone else.

I was right.

[Mister Ed]

6. Somehow I knew what she looked like before I clicked the link or saw the photo. n/t

[Jerry2144]

8. She surely does look hateful and miserable

No joy of life showing in her face

[Fiendish Thingy]

7. Seems like a planted story to make Trump seem less crazy

Sure, Harp posts after business hours, but she’s not the one posting incoherent rants at 2am.

[Miles Archer]

11. I STILL say CHEUNG is the main driver here

He has a pretty unmistakable stench. When I drive down the road and someone's hit a skunk and it comes in my vents, I never say "What's that smell?"

So if Harp is doing this, she's running it by Cheung.

[GusBob]

14. You keep saying this, and you are right

If you delve into the WSJ article that this story comes from, Cheung is approving her work

Its down the page but yeah, its on him

The WSJ article was posted here yesterday

[haele]

15. They (his staff) probably queue a bunch of posts up via AI.

All he has to do is log onto the site, and the AI can bring up a random selection of screeds, pictures, and videos he can just press the button to post.
That's how he can squat out 2 or 3 longer "posts" in a minute at 0140 in the morning, then again 10 minutes later for a couple hours.
It's simple code work.
They can probably prompt a Grok chatbot to scrape X or 4chan, repost a troll post from there and mimic the reply from him on Truth Social.
They're probably telling him that he can control the AI with his thoughts...

[Boomerproud]

9. She's got the Maralago look down to a tee.

I just want to know how much taxpayers are financing her.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

41. Yes indeed, Boomerproud!

They all look like Ivanka. (He's a sick S.O.B.)

[3catwoman3]

10. Her last name must have dropped a letter - Natalie Harpy seems...

...more appropriate.

[lindysalsagal]

18. Heartbreaking, how so many women will degrade themselves for power and money.

[niyad]

28. Same with the men.

[Blue Owl]

19. Does she also change the pedophile's shit-filled diaper on the hour?

[AltairIV]

20. In her mid thirties........

......shouldn't she be home with her 6 children, home schooling them instead of stealing a job from a real , low IQ, white male?

[Polly Hennessey]

22. Blonde with a vacant look in her eyes; wrinkled ill-fitting

suit. Yep, a Mar-a-Lago harpy, for sure.

[not fooled]

60. Yes. The "y"

is silent.

[Botany]

23. She is a real "Christian Peach." Ms. Harp skipped the thou shall not lie part of her big book of Bible.

Education Point Loma Nazarene University (BA)
Liberty University (MBA)

************



She brings Trump this crap to his private residence after hours.

[Dr. T]

36. And pleasure him as well?

I'm sure Malania is more that happy to off-load that particular chore.

[LymphocyteLover]

58. Liberty University, of course

[Escape]

24. Great photo...

Happy bunch , ain't they?

That pic captures the ugliness and stress of Trumpland.

[Wiz Imp]

25. It was previously reported that 95% of Trump's posts come from Harp or Dan Scavino.

[ToxMarz]

26. I never in a million years imagined it was actually him tapping those out on his iPhone

in the middle of the night with those short fingered vulgarinan thumbs.

[samnsara]

27. i assumed he tapped them out earlier and released them at the

most inappropriate time....

[ToxMarz]

33. I wouldn't doubt that he's the one actually sending them when they go out

but I doubt his fat little fingers and addled brain is whipping them out in rapid succession like some stream of consciousness.

[chowder66]

47. He probably uses the microphone.

[niyad]

29. That outfit looks like she slept in it, and went directly to this meeting.

[karynnj]

30. Not surprised that someone else wrote the garbage

To me, the hardest thing to get my mind around is WHY? In a normal administration, which this isn't, it would not be normal for the President to say the disgusting things he does. I remember Presidents apologizing for off mic statements that NEVER rose to Trump level.

I assume this garbage is to make us feel terrible, while reinforcing the racism and hatred of the worst of his base. They want this in spite of the fact that it horrifies our allies.

[NJCher]

31. not everyone thinks this is a great idea

from the article:
snip
The process has frustrated some White House officials because Harp doesn’t share her proposed posts with the chief of staff’s office, communications aides, or national-security officials, sources told the Journal.
snip

Now scroll up and look at Chief of Staff Suzie's face, over on the left.

[orleans]

52. suzie looks wild and crazy like she just got caught doing something illegal--or insane like trump

walking out in front of cameras with the IV hose suzie plugged into him before she had a chance to stop him

i don't think it has much to do with harpy or whatever that bitch's name is

[Vinca]

32. Wonder if she provides any "extra services?"

[Botany]

34. From wiki

In his book All or Nothing (2025), the journalist Michael Wolff described Harp as a "gatekeeper".[3] According to the journalist Alex Isenstadt, in one instance, Trump's wife Melania discovered Harp in his private quarters—an area reserved for the Trump family—delivering papers to him at night.

[ColoringFool]

40. "Delivering Papers"---🤭🤫🤐😉---👃💩🚽🤮 ---🤣🤣🤣🤣

Trust---Melania was relieved to see her there!

😄😄😄😄😄😄

[BattleRow]

56. Toilet papers?

It Depends...

[FakeNoose]

35. Yes I've been giving too much credit to Stephen Miller

This is the work of several right-wing trolls at the White House, and Miller is only one of them. He was the original but now it's being outsourced to staffers who really compete with each other in their anonymous nastiness.

These people are pigs in the worst sense. I want to see them doxxed. Please out them on the internet.

[ColoringFool]

38. I'm Shocked, SHOCKED, At Her Physical Appearance. 👱‍♀️🤖😄

[SunSeeker]

39. Trump sure has a type.

[Martin68]

42. Sickening.

[hay rick]

45. Automated insanity.

Wow! It explains a lot- especially the range of topics and volume of the posts.

This story coming out now also looks like a cynical attempt to insulate Trump from criticism and responsibility: the baby has diarrhea because somebody keeps feeding him chocolate...

[BradBo]

46. A younger version of that biotch Susie Wiles.looks weirdly like her.

[Ruby the Liberal]

49. Dan Scavno has been de-throned nt

[FakeNoose]

50. I don't think he has a role in the 2nd term

Most of the 1st term staffers are long gone now, other than Peter Navarro and maybe one or 2 others.

[UpInArms]

51. what a soulless piece of flesh

on two legs

I hope she rots in hell

[misanthrope]

53. An attractive blonde? Go figure

All she's missing is the Helferinnen uniform.

[roscoeroscoe]

54. Don't often say this about a woman, but...

What an asshole

[Snackshack]

55. Wiles has that...

Wile E Coyote look like she is always scheming the next new plan to catch the Roadrunner.

[allegorical oracle]

57. Sorry, but anybody who is sitting up with TSF at all hours is up to no good.

Her whatever religion surely isn't mine.

[S/V Loner]

59. Can you imagine a job that's...

only reason to exist is to sow discourse and hate among your fellow Americans?
Only a psycho would be proud of that and sleep well at night.

[BurnDoubt]

64. So...

A kind of Sychophantic Succubus?
Purrfect.

[live love laugh]

65. She's his "type" and he's with her in the middle of the night. Hmmmmm 🧐🧐

[live love laugh]

72. Performative scapegoating imho

[Hassler]

67. So Natalie is Chump's Harpie.

[carpetbagger]

68. Looks like Ivanka.

There, I said it. Are they sleeping together? Depends on if he's got operating machinery pushing 80. Does he have the hots for her? She's probably like a daughter to him. Does it explain his wife's absence from the China trip? 50-50.

[Roy Rolling]

69. Allow me to be blunt

My perspective will be that of decades of up-close work in films and TV.

This bimbo isn’t as hot as made out to be. Compared with the most beautiful women “in Hollywood” and elsewhere, she’s nice, but never a leading role nice.

Trump is a third-rate, delusions of grandeur actor who runs a reality-TV cult. He surrounds himself with D-list characters and thinks he’s successful, in the same way Harvey Weinstein and Jeff Epstein did. He pays for his friends and women, otherwise the smell is too much to bear.

[B.See]

70. File under: More giving the sob the benefit of the doubt.

It's of no matter to me who produces it or who puts it out.

BOTTOM LINE, he approves it, defends it, and often double down. He's quick to axe people who DON'T do what he wants. So if they're still there, then he must be fine with ALL of it.

F(orget) this 'he's not responsible' bs.

[DebbieCDC]

71. Auditioning to be Mrs. Trump #4?

Melanoma IS getting up there in years…

[LetMyPeopleVote]

74. Apparently Trumps having a not so secret affair with Natalie Harp

[LetMyPeopleVote]

75. Trump Team Is Pissed at Aide Secretly Enabling Crazed Nighttime Rants

There have been fewer typos and misspelled words is trump's posts lately but there are still weird capitalizations and strange phrasing. I have suspected that someone is helping trump in these posts. It seems that a trump "employee" stays up late to help trump in these posts.

An unequivocal irresponsible MORON

Trump Team Is Pissed at Aide Secretly Enabling Crazed Nighttime Rants

Harp doesn't share her drafts with anyone else in White House but the president, claiming she works for him & only him, reported the WSJ.

https://newrepublic.com/post/210363/donald-trump-team-pissed-aide-nighttime-social-media

Even the president’s inner circle is tiring of his erratic, late-night social media binges—and the White House aide responsible for them.

Donald Trump’s executive assistant Natalie Harp is the woman behind his overnight Truth Social sprees, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. Through twilight-hour shifts, Harp has created the impression that the president never sleeps and is instead spending his should-be bedtime obsessively retweeting baseless conspiracies about the 2020 presidential election and Fox News headlines about his purported popularity among the American public.

The 34-year-old aide supplies the president with stacks of printed-out drafts and awaits his approval before hitting post, sources told the Journal.

Her work has included posts that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, and an AI-generated image of Trump as Jesus Christ. Trump took down both posts after they spurred immense public backlash. In the former instance, Trump claimed he did not see the section of the video that racistly mocked the former president and first lady. A White House official blamed the mistake on an editing error.

The frustration lies partly in the perceived chain of command: Harp does not share her drafts with anyone else in the White House but the president, claiming that she works for him and only him, reported the Journal. That’s prompted tensions between Harp and some of the federal employees affected by her incendiary writing, such as the chief of staff’s office.

I have no doubt that trump's relationship with this lady goes beyond late nights editing of internet posts.
