UNITED STATES: “You are all that matters to me”: Leaked letters show Trump aide Natalie Harp’s loyalty

US President Donald Trump’s close personal aide Natalie Harp expressed intense personal and professional loyalty to him in letters addressed to the president, which were published by The Daily Beast amid growing scrutiny of her role in the administration.



Harp, whose near-constant presence beside Trump has drawn increasing attention in political circles, wrote directly to the president reflecting on her commitment to his team and addressing recent campaign events.



“I want things to always be right between us,” Harp wrote in one letter, which was printed out and signed “Dear Mr. President” and concluded with “With all my heart, Natalie.”



Addressing a past trip to Scotland where she feared she had lost her focus, Harp expressed deep regret over any perceived missteps on her part.



“I never want to bring you anything but joy,” she wrote. “I’m sorry I lost my focus. You are all that matters to me. I don’t want to ever let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life.”

In another letter, Harp reminisced about her early relationship with Trump during her time as a television host for One America News Network.



“I miss the days when you used to call, during my Talkshow days, and we’d talk about everything and nothing,” Harp wrote. “I want to get back to that synergy. We shouldn’t have to talk about work all the time!!”

In the same note, Harp welcomed direct criticism from the president, writing: “And please, when I fail, will you tell me? You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more.”



White House spokesperson Davis Ingle defended Harp’s standing, calling her “one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump’s team.” Despite the public attention and internal staff debates surrounding her heavy involvement in daily operations, Harp continues to travel closely alongside the president.
