BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump’s blonde aide Natalie Harp, previously dubbed the “human printer,” has earned a new nickname following reports that she was among the select few to accompany the president during his secret aircraft switch in Turkey.
Harp, who works as Trump’s executive assistant, is a constant presence at the 80-year-old president’s side, whether in Oval Office meetings or aboard Air Force One.
She earned her “human printer” reputation by using a portable printer to produce hard copies of news articles and social media drafts for the president.
Harp’s new nickname emerged after she was identified as one of a handful of aides who boarded the smaller military jet when Trump, who was recently given a savage, mocking new nickname by the Chinese, quietly switched aircraft following the NATO summit in Turkey last month.
Secret Aircraft Switch Details
It comes as the ‘real reasons’ behind Karoline Leavitt’s bombshell exit were exposed.
On July 8, Trump transferred from Air Force One to a smaller aircraft, after being discreetly removed via a catering cart after officials confirmed a credible Iranian threat against the president.
Harp was one of just three aides to accompany Trump on the smaller aircraft.
According to CNN, deputy White House chief of staff Dan Scavino and Walt Nauta, Director of Oval Office Operations, were the other two officials who joined Trump and Harp on the plane.
Other Officials Left Behind
Meanwhile, other Trump administration figures, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, stayed aboard the larger aircraft.
Appearing on MS NOW Sunday, New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman shed light on why Harp was selected as one of the staffers to accompany Trump on the secret plane switch, describing her role as his “Binkie.”
“Natalie Harp, because she is sort of his Binkie, for lack of a better way of putting it – his comfort blanket,” Haberman said during her appearance to host Jacob Soboroff, clarifying why she boarded the smaller aircraft with Trump.
Trump’s Trusted Aide
She suggested the other two staffers – Scavino and Nauta – were probably picked to accompany Trump on the smaller aircraft due to their lengthy tenures working for him.
Harp, a former far-right One America News Network anchor, featured prominently in Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s book Regime Change.
The New York Times correspondents reported that Trump remarked early in his second term that Harp “was the only one who loved him as much as his wife and his kids.”
They also reported that Harp would leave letters for the president, one of which said, “You are all that matters to me,” according to the book.
Social Media Role and Influence
Harp has regularly been linked to Trump’s flurries of activity on Truth Social, as a May 2026 Wall Street Journal analysis found that she produces printed copies of social media drafts for the president’s review.
Sources close to the situation informed the outlet that Harp accesses the president’s accounts after regular business hours to publish previously authorized content.
Meanwhile, Melania Trump fans are convinced Trump’s most beautiful’ aide is her ‘body double’ for one reason.
