Emotional letter written by Natalie Harp, Donald Trump’s personal secretary, in which she confesses to starving herself while working for him, has been revealed.
Trump’s relationship with Harp is back in the limelight after he chose to save her over his own cabinet secretaries after an Iranian assassination threat following the Nato summit in Turkey last month.
Harp was among a handful of aides including Trump’s former caddy Dan Scavino who switched planes with him on the tarmac in Ankara. Israeli intelligence had warned of an impending Iranian attack on Air Force One.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent were left on the plane with dozens of journalists.
Senator Jon Ossoff ridiculed the pair’s closeness at a rally in Georgia on Saturday.
Ossoff said the President ‘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.’
Harp’s estranged brother, Preston, first revealed in June that his sister’s relationship with Trump as ‘very unhealthy’ and called the President a ‘national embarrassment.’
One advisor said that Trump ‘likes the attention and the fact that she is 100 percent committed and loyal’.
‘She doesn’t question, doesn’t second guess,’ the source said.
During his May 2023 golf trip to Scotland, Harp ran behind the President’s golf cart because no other ones were available.
She later wrote him a letter to apologize for embarrassing him while trying to keep up, per DailyMail.
‘I also am sorry if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland,’ she wrote in the letter.
Harp then goes on to admit that she starved herself and forgot to sleep while working for Trump, saying: ‘I want things to always be right between us. I also know I’ve been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time).’
Her letter concludes: ‘With all my heart, Natalie.’
Harp spent the summer of 2023 sleeping in the women’s locker room at Trump’s Bedminster golf club so she could remain close to him, according to journalist Michael Wolff.
She had initially secured a maid’s room but moved into the locker room because it was closer to the main house and allowed her to respond more quickly whenever Trump called.
During the campaign, Melania Trump once stumbled upon Harp late at night inside Trump’s private quarters at Mar-a-Lago, an area typically off-limits to anyone outside the family, according to journalist Alex Isenstadt.
Harp was reportedly delivering documents to Trump that she did not want to wait until morning to hand over.
