During a recent security concern in Turkey, U.S. President Donald Trump discreetly moved from Air Force One using a catering truck, while several officials, including U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, stayed on the plane. Accompanying Trump were key personnel such as deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, Oval Office operations director Walt Nauta, and executive assistant Natalie Harp.
Natalie Harp, a 35-year-old special assistant and executive assistant to the president, has been a constant presence beside Trump in various situations since 2022. She is known for her close support and dedication to the president, providing vital assistance in his day-to-day operations, including setting up a mobile office that travels with him.
Harp’s association with Trump began in 2019 when she commended the president for a law benefiting patients seeking experimental treatments. She has garnered praise from multiple Republicans for her unwavering loyalty and efficient support.
Recently, Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff raised eyebrows during a campaign event by suggesting that Trump may not be fully committed to his duties due to his alleged focus on White House renovations and traveling with Harp on Air Force One. In response, Trump dismissed Ossoff’s comments, referring to him humorously and emphasizing his focus on enhancing White House facilities.
The exchange between Ossoff and Trump has sparked debates and reactions across political circles, with some criticizing Ossoff’s comments as disrespectful and sexist towards Harp. Despite the controversy, Ossoff’s remarks have gained attention online, fueling speculations and discussions about the nature of the relationship between Trump and Harp.
