Meet Natalie Harp, Trump's Aide Behind His Midnight Social Media Posting Spree

Natalie Harp supplies printed drafts, then posts Trump-approved messages in late-night bursts that have totaled 44 since his return, the Journal found.

  • Natalie Harp, President Donald Trump's executive assistant, manages his Truth Social account, frequently publishing batches of posts during late-night hours. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that she serves as a central filter for the president's online messaging.
  • Each evening, Harp compiles stacks of printed-out drafts, often sourced from fringe social media accounts, for Trump's personal approval. The president reviews each post before Harp publishes them, ensuring he remains the final authority on all shared content.
  • Dubbed the 'human printer' by colleagues, Harp has posted controversial content at the president's direction, including an AI-generated image portraying him as a Christ-like figure and a video depicting former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes.
  • Bypassing the chief of staff's office and national security officials, Harp typically tells colleagues she answers only to Trump. This lack of institutional review has reportedly caused friction among some White House staff.
  • White House Communications Director Steven Cheung defended the account, stating that 'Truth Social has never been hotter' because it offers 'unfiltered' thoughts to Americans. Trump has published nearly 8,800 posts since returning to office, according to the Wall Street Journal.
