This woman needs a psych evaluation. Stat.
Yeah, this is the kind of person who can turn very dangerous very fast. She’s a crazy stalker & the Secret Service is just letting this happen. Well, now that I think about it…. Wait, no, she is on the payroll which means my tax dollars are keeping her afloat.
She’s incredibly dangerous. She’s the one who’s been his truth social stenographer.
I’ve wondered for the longest time who is writing those posts and creating those horrificly vile AIslop memes for him at all hours of the day and night.
#47 can’t even apply self tanner reliably – there’s no way he’s writing those “truths” and making sure the spelling is correct which it always is, surprisingly.
Ms. Harp is therefore responsible for a significant degradation of our global society and chaos. I couldn’t detest her more and what she has done to target so many vulnerable people and enable the worst instincts in really awful people. I can only hope Harp is stopped and held accountable for the damage she has done at some point.
Or she’s a foreign intelligence asset. There’s a reason she refused to submit to a security check. And her tongue baths to Trump are so over the top they sound like what foreign agents are trained to say to him. Foreign governments know how to manipulate him.
Very possible.
Poor thing, she’s very clearly mentally ill, still suffering from the loss of her father and thinking she’s found his simulacrum 🙁
She’s 35! Time to be a grownup!
Anyone else think Natalie was in the midst of a manic episode when she wrote those? Possibly a first manic episode (although she’s a little on the old side for onset)? She mentioned in 2 letters that she wasn’t eating or sleeping.
The forgetting to eat and sleep is either mania or she’s abusing stimulants. Either way it’s absolutely insane that a person this unhinged has such close access to the president of the United States.
I’m shocked that Pulitzer Prize, hard hitting NYT wouldn’t report The Harp-Trump story with at least 2 columns today (it don’t have to match the Sussexes 3 columns because news about POTUS and state security is obviously less important).
Priorities! 😉
You don’t think it’s important that a deranged person is gate-keeping access to the president? Or that she worked in the WH for a year with no security clearance? I think that’s newsworthy. I think it’s important for the NYTimes to report any and every time Trump violates laws and security policy.
Sigh. It’s irony, aka NYT needs to figure out what kind of journalism it wants to pursue. Go with click bait gossips or stick with hard hitting, in-depth reporting.
But yeah early this AM, to get 1 article on the failed Canada-Trump,trade deal vs 3 columns about BRF pretty much tells the reader which path NYT is pursuing. Ans: its corporate investors like Vanguard and Blackrock that need corporate protection and easy money.
Common citizens: negative balance.
Corporations/billionaires: masters of the universe
I got your sarcasm (not irony), and that is my point. You’re saying that this is click-bait gossip, and I think it’s an extremely serious breakdown in our government (though not surprising). Foreign leaders text this deranged woman to contact the U.S. president. Publishing the letters IS in-depth reporting — on a very important issue.
The trade deal with Canada just collapsed at midnight. I see three “above the fold” stories on it on NYTimes’ website.
@FYI. Sarcasm is a form of irony. And it was the Daily Beast that published the Harp texts, not NYT.
The irony is the venerable Pulitzer Prize winning NYT hasn’t been so reliable in recent years. Maybe the paper decided to get more readers, it has to delve deeply into the British royals — be it weeks of OTT coverage of Kate’s disappearance, the frankenphoto mess, and Kate popping up with news of her bravely battling cancer. Now we get multi day, multi article coverage of the Sussexes. It’s ironic that reporting about BRF is more in-depth than reporting on why number of food borne illnesses and food recall in the US has spiked this year. Or the lack a deep dive into what’s been happening with Trump’s mental and physical health because when Biden was president, there were endless articles enumerating Biden’s “senior” moments, articles questioning his cognitive capabilities and his age over and over, which continues on today. Quite a double standard for the award winning NYT.
That’s the irony and my point, I agree with you re: Harp and the biggest threat to national security and the Constitution remains Trump and his self enriching family and allies.
Monica Lewinsky is so disappointed in you Natalie.
I am so torn between loving your comment and needing to point out the vast difference. This blonde woman says that dumpf saved her life, while his administration is destroying public health and our health care system. Bubba may have been sleazy when it came to cheating on his wife, but as a president he was all in on health care and women’s rights. Monica was a college kid who had consensual sexual relations with the most powerful man on earth (who was charming AF – I’m Monica’s age and envied her). I was in college and saw girls regularly sleeping with drunken frat boys and other undeserving members of the male species so by comparison I can’t see how what Monica did was any worse. What this woman is doing is reprehensible and an affront to all human decency.
Thank you, MIGHTYMOLLY. Great response.
They really want us to believe she’s not just his baby sitter/diaper nurse.
Since she refers to herself by her derogatory nickname “human printer”, I can’t think the goal is to puff up her role.
trump really wants to be a king. Back in the day, kings had a position in their bedchamber called Groom of the Stool, you can guess what their job was, though stool didn’t refer to bowel movements but a padded toilet. It apparently was a position men jockeyed for and turned into a powerhouse of a position. Lady of the Stool could become his most important echo chamber, I mean advisor.
Those “shoes” are ridiculous
there’s fashion and then there’s just straight up nonsense. there’s someone on youtube (i can’t remember their name) who does a series on stupid rich people fashion. this fits right in. like the balenciaga bath towel ‘skirt’.
They look like these heel booty things I have that I wear to bed to soften my heels. Never knew I could wear them outside, Do you think my boss would mind?
Wow that is a whole lot to unpack. These people……..
I’m confused. Jenna Dewan is not going to be a contestant is she? I’m assuming she would be who a contestant is paired with. Bc isn’t she a professional dancer?
I question this as well. I heard a LOT of people didn’t vote for Whitney Leavitt last time on DWTS because they thought it was “unfair” because she majored in dance and theater in college. No professional experience mind you and then there’s Jenna with major professional dance experience. There’s no way she should contest against amateurs. So I hope she’s one of the professionals. That I’ll watch. And don’t say Bennifer 3 just because they were seen not together at the same office building they both have offices at. Please. Enough.
This exact thing happened in 2018 on Strictly Come Dancing in the UK. Ashley Roberts (Pussycat Dolls) and Faye Tozer (Steps) were both trained dancers who were much better technically than all the other contestants. They made the final but neither won. Jenna will probably end up the same.
I see this Idiot likes to capitalize Words the Same way her Guardian in this Life does. Nutjob.
I think she’s doing that intentionally to suck up to him.
And Harp wouldn’t undergo a background check for almost a year. She refused. I didn’t realise it was optional.
I wouldn’t have been allowed to start my job without that background check. I don’t know how all these trumpians get away with it.
Oh, BeanieBean, you’re such a stickler for rules and decency. I promise if you were willing to provide services for grandpa beyond your job description there was a workaround with those silly background check rules (assuming you were applying to be a vaguely described personal assistant to a geriatric pervert).
I read something that has more background on Harp, and it’s sad and unsettling. She was homeschooled, and a creator I follow who was in IBLP/Gothard/the Duggars spaces said a lot of the language she used in the letters is similar to that cult. She was extremely close to her dad, and worked at his company until he ended his life in mid 2020. 3 weeks later she moved her and her mom to Palm Beach. Then she got a job at OAN (? They couldn’t find anything on how that would happen, her background has nothing to do with that). Then in ‘22 she started working for mctacotits. She pretty clearly sees him as her dad, and he pretty clearly sees her as substitute Ivanka.
Like, there’s so many mental health problems here. I am hopeful that she may have been pulled of his detail for a few months because her lack of security clearance was made public and they can’t bury it as an issue without looking neglectful. I’m hoping without the human binky he becomes completely uncontrollable in public and noncompliant in every aspect of his care.
“human binky” Dead
OMG she’s quoting Jane Austen’s Mr. Bennet. She has daddy issues for sure. The shades of the White House are thus polluted.
As a Pride & Prejudice fan I cannot express how deeply I love your comment. They are thus polluted indeed.
As long as Nat points her danger in the right direction, I am all for it. I wonder if she had a hissy fit when she saw her paramour holding hands with Mel.
she sees him as a christlike figure, obviously. this level of worship is beyond nuts.
(hope okay to post this here)
I wonder if Harry is involved with this initiative?
A story from Kyiv, about a public/private initiative for creating legitimate jobs for Ukrainian veterans:
https://kyivindependent.com/kyiv-plans-to-create-100-000-jobs-for-veterans/
reminded me of what Harry recently said in DC about a not-yet-launched business venture + paid-jobs for veterans:
https://www.celebitchy.com/992581/prince_harry_held_a_veterans_roundtable_and_visited_arlington_walter_reed_yesterday/
Is it possible that she’ll go after her “rival,” Melania? Not that I want her to . . . Because I really don’t care, do you?
Harp, is a crazed, looney tune. I am shocked she refused security clearance, and got away with it…she most likely has some things to hide. Public crash outs and past harassment incidents, IPO paperwork etc. SICK!
