Trump travels to California and Nevada with aide Natalie Harp for fundraiser and tax speech

President Trump departed the White House on Tuesday, first traveling to Los Angeles for a Republican National Committee fundraising event at the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, and then to Las Vegas on Wednesday to deliver remarks at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa promoting the administration’s tax-relief agenda. Throughout the trip he was accompanied by Natalie Harp, a 34-year-old executive assistant described as his “human printer” for duties ranging from fetching merchandise to drafting Truth Social posts.

Harp, a former One America News anchor, has been a constant presence for years and recently made headlines after affectionate letters to Trump were reported, leading to Secret Service warnings and unease among Trump’s staff. Michael Wolff, a longtime Trump biographer, said her role sparked a “major kerfuffle” within the inner circle. Harp’s brother Preston linked her devotion to a childhood upbringing steeped in American exceptionalism. The aide’s visibility underscores the personal dynamics shaping the president’s high-profile campaign outings.
