Natalie Harp's Brother Reveals the Childhood Reason She's 'Obsessed' With Trump: 'It's Not Physical Attraction'

Preston Harp, the estranged brother of Donald Trump aide Natalie Harp, has said his sister's fixation on the former president stems from their mother's strict childhood teachings rather than any romantic interest. He claimed her devotion is rooted in lessons about American exceptionalism they were raised with and which she believes Mr Trump embodies.

He stated her intense devotion is rooted in the controversial lessons of American exceptionalism they were raised with, which she sees championed by the president.

The revelations follow weeks of public scrutiny surrounding the young aide, who has become an increasingly visible figure in the politician's inner circle.

Recent reports have highlighted her proximity to the president, prompting speculation regarding the nature of their bond and raising questions about her influence within his private spaces.

A History of Presidential Fixations for Natalie Harp

Preston detailed that his sister has long maintained a fascination with political leaders. He claimed she began writing letters to George W. Bush at sixteen, noting that her current proximity to the president represents a lifelong dream coming true.

Journalist Erin Burnett recounted an anecdote suggesting Natalie once rode in the trunk of an SUV just to accompany the president to a court appearance.

Her brother initially laughed at the revelation before offering a sombre assessment of her behaviour. He told the network that jumping into a trunk merely to remain near someone constitutes an 'unhealthy obsession.'

Preston then expanded on their upbringing, arguing their mother taught them a distorted version of history in which the United States served as the absolute boss of the world.

He alleged their mother taught them that slavery was normal and that those who owned slaves were not bad people, suggesting his sister believes the president aligns with those early teachings.

'I think that my sister, unfortunately, didn't break out of that delusion that my mom raised us with, and Trump is like everything that my mom taught us to respect,' Preston explained. 'I think that's where her infatuation for Trump comes from, honestly, because I don't think it's a physical attraction. Let's get real.' He also linked her loyalty to a search for a paternal figure following years of painful distance from their late father.

Security Concerns Over Close White House Proximity

The aide first gained political prominence in 2019 after publicly crediting the president's Right to Try Act for allowing her to survive Stage 2 bone cancer. She subsequently evolved into a regular companion, earning the moniker of the 'human printer' for carrying a portable device designed to supply the president with a steady stream of positive news articles.

According to Regime Change, a book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, the aide regularly left deeply personal notes in private spaces for the president to discover. One note reportedly stated that he was all that mattered to her, prompting the president to allegedly tell others she would never leave his side.

Swan confirmed to CNN last month that these letters raised the eyebrows of the Secret Service during the campaign. Haberman added that the aide would frequently sit beside the president with an open laptop during Oval Office meetings.

She described her as 'ever-present,' noting that she would run on foot behind his golf cart to remain close during his leisure time. Political opponents have referred to this dynamic on the campaign trail.

Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff criticised the administration on Monday, claiming the president preferred golfing and travelling with Natalie on a flying palace gifted by Qatar over managing the nation's depleted munitions.

The president dismissed the criticism, choosing instead to publicly mock the senator as a 'Pee-Wee Herman lookalike.'
