Harp joined Trump’s campaign in 2020, going on to serve as one of his top aids just four years later. In 2025, she was promoted to executive assistant to the President of the United States.
As Harp continued to work alongside Trump, she started gaining media attention for her various appearances. The spotlight intensified in August 2026, after Sen. Jon Ossoff made a remark about Harp at a rally in Atlanta.
“While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings,” Ossoff told the crowd. “He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie, on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar.”
White House communications director Steven Cheung subsequently slammed Ossoff’s remarks in a statement shared via social media.
“Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he’s a miserable person who hates this country,” Cheung wrote at the time.

Harp previously claimed to Fox News in 2019 that she was initially denied entry into clinical experimental trials before Trump signed his Right to Try Act in 2018. She has credited Trump for allegedly saving her life. (Experts have stated that the immunotherapy drug Harp described using was already FDA-approved and did not fall under the Right to Try Act.)
Hard became a member of the advisory board for his 2020 presidential campaign. Four years later, she became an aide. Harp was named Trump’s executive assistant in 2025. She reportedly has access to his Truth Social account.
In 2020, Harp started working as a presenter on the One America News Network, a far-right channel that has infamously promoted the false claims that there was voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Harp remained with the network until 2022.
During Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, Harp was given the nickname “Human Printer” because she reportedly carried a portable printer by her side. Multiple outlets have reported that Harp prints out news articles and social media posts for Trump because he allegedly prefers printed media.
According to multiple reports, Harp was with Trump on an alternate plane out of Turkey in July 2026 amid an alleged threat from Iran.
Important note: “If you are thinking about using an alternative method instead of standard treatment, be sure to talk to your doctor first. It can be a challenge to find trustworthy information about the safety and effectiveness of alternative treatments. Also, some of these treatments can require a lot of time and money, and they may require travel away from your family and friends,” the American Cancer Society cautions on its website. “Choosing alternative treatment instead of mainstream cancer treatments might put you at serious risk. Delays or interruptions in standard treatment can give the cancer more time to grow. Even early stage cancers can become hard to treat successfully if proven treatment is delayed long enough.”
