A Donald Trump aide who has been dubbed his “diaper nurse” allegedly sent “strange” notes that included suggestions of him “punishing” her. Natalie Harp, who serves as the POTUS’ executive assistant, has attracted considerable attention in recent weeks amid reports that she occupies a prominent position within Trump’s inner circle and shares a close bond with the man himself.
Last month, a bombshell book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, Regime Change, claimed the aide left private notes for the president in what was described as “personal spaces”.
In one, Harp, who is in her 30s, was said to have told the president: “You are all that matters to me.”
She is also reported to have earned a reputation for being “ever-present”, accompanying Trump to meetings, public engagements and even his golf outings.
Her proximity to Trump, 80, has also sparked unfounded “diaper nurse” and “side piece” taunts from internet users, owing to continued speculation over the nature of their relationship. Now author Michael Wolff, who has penned several books on Trump, has teased what could prove to be an even more peculiar revelation.
Speaking to journalist Joanna Coles on the Daily Beast’s Inside Trump’s Head, he said: “In my book, in All or Nothing, I, you know, I produce a set of notes that she (Harp) had written, the president, I mean, love letters in which everybody was in a major kerfuffle over this, including the Secret Service.
“Warning the president of the United States – or warning aides to the president whose job it was then to bring to the president, whether they did or not, that they saw her as a danger to herself and to him.”
Joanna then enquired whether the notes suggested that Harp is “in love” with Trump. He responded: “I mean, these are love notes, mash notes. Yeah, completely.”
He was subsequently questioned over the meaning of “private spaces”.

Michael asserted that everything Trump reads is “funnelled through Natalie Harp”, describing her as the “human printer”. She acquired the peculiar nickname after shadowing Trump with a printer to supply him with printed material.
Michael contended that she prints out “laudatory” information for Trump. “But in this pile of papers, she’s also frequently includes personal notes to him and notes that, you know, you’re the Alpha and the Omega, the be all and end all.
“What would I be without you? And then weird kind of language of…which kind of suggests him punishing her. I don’t know, I’m not even going to go there.”
Joanna replied: “Him punishing her? That sounds very strange. Well, they’re sort of motivational love notes, aren’t they? That’s what I thought when I read them, that they’re sort of supposed to be motivating for him.”

Michael countered by stating he did not consider this to be “true at all”, suggesting instead that the notes implied she wished to “climb into bed” with the POTUS.
He went on to say: “She doesn’t say this, but I think that’s the tone of this – ‘I love you. I exist because of you. I exist only in your shadow’.”
This comes as Trump faced fierce criticism and was condemned for a ‘disgusting’ act during Lindsey Graham’s funeral.
