Natalie Harp, currently serving as Executive Assistant to the President, has become a prominent figure within the Trump administration due to her continuous presence alongside President Trump. Appointed to her role in January 2025, Harp’s duties extend beyond traditional executive assistant responsibilities.
Harp is widely recognized as the “human printer” because she often carries a portable printer to provide President Trump with physical copies of news articles, social media posts, and other information, reflecting his preference for reading on paper rather than screens. This access to information flow reportedly gives her significant influence. She also has full access to and is responsible for managing President Trump’s Truth Social account, a role that has occasionally led to controversial posts.
Harp’s connection to Trump dates back to 2019, when she publicly praised a “right-to-try” law he signed, which she credited with saving her life during a battle with bone cancer. This led to her involvement in his 2020 presidential campaign advisory board and a speaking slot at the 2020 Republican National Convention. Before her current role, Harp worked as a television host for One America News Network from 2020 to 2022.
Her role recently came under increased scrutiny in August 2026, after Senator Jon Ossoff (D-Georgia) referenced her during a campaign rally while criticizing President Trump. This followed reports from July 2026 that Harp was among a small group of aides who accompanied President Trump on a secret plane swap in Turkey, amid concerns of a potential Iranian assassination attempt. Harp’s consistent proximity and unique responsibilities have led to ongoing discussions about her influence within the White House.
