It has recently been observed that new posts appear on Donald Trump‘s Truth Social account late at night, or perhaps early on a morning, and the content of some of the posts has invited criticism online. Now, the person responsible for publishing many of those messages has reportedly been identified, as White House officials provided clarity.
Natalie Harp is the woman behind Donald Trump’s midnight posts
Natalie Harp, a 34-year-old executive assistant to President Donald Trump, has become the primary staffer who puts his thoughts on his Truth Social platform. She collects screenshots from allies, fans, and conservative commentators like posts that praise the president, attack Democrats, or promote conspiracy theories, and prints them out. Then, Trump reviews the physical drafts, and once he gives his approval, Harp logs into his account and publishes them.
White House officials told the Wall Street Journal that the president does still write and post some messages himself. But Harp’s fingerprints have been on content that pushed boundaries and attracted recent criticism. One post featured an AI-generated photo of Trump alike Jesus Christ. Another included a video with a clip showing former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes.
The White House initially blamed an unnamed staffer for posting that video “erroneously.” Trump himself brushed off concern about the AI photo, claiming he thought it showed him as a doctor. Sources familiar with the situation claim that Harp posted both items at Trump’s direction.
However, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung did not confirm whether Harp was the staffer behind Trump’s controversial posts. “Truth Social has never been hotter, and it’s because President Trump offers his unfiltered and direct thoughts to the American people, without the biased media taking him out of context,” Cheung said. “We don’t discuss internal deliberations of how the process works, but no other social-media tool has been more effective than Truth.”
Harp’s direct line to the president reportedly frustrates other officials. She does not share draft posts with fellow staffers, choosing only to seek Trump’s approval before publishing. Her loyalty to Trump is deeply personal and goes back years. She is yet to comment on the claim.
