Natalie Harp: The Human Printer's Love Notes
At 29:53 · chapter starts 28:40
Tim Miller pivots to a more personal revelation from the book: the notes that Natalie Harp, Trump's constant information aide and 'human printer,' was leaving in his private White House spaces. Haberman describes them as raw and emotional — in one, Harp wrote 'You are all that matters to me.' The Secret Service was alarmed enough to raise concerns. Trump is open about his feelings toward Harp: she loves him on staff, he tells people, as much as his wife and children do. While the rest of his aides will eventually go make money elsewhere, he says, she will never leave him. Haberman notes that Harp — a former OAN network figure who has been with Trump since late 2021 or 2022 — was present for every single court appearance during his 2024 Manhattan trial and was one of only a handful of people in the room during Haberman and Swan's fact-checking interview with Trump.

Trump aide Natalie Harp left raw, emotional notes in Trump's private spaces, including one saying 'You are all that matters to me,' which alarmed Secret Service agents.
Trump has always been more hawkish on Iran than his own advisors, and he went into the war believing it would be over in days, the way the Venezuela operation was swift and clean. He was warned about depleted munitions and a closed Strait of Hormuz. He went anyway. Now he wants out.
