Natalie Harp, a special assistant to former President Donald Trump whose close relationship with the former president has drawn increased scrutiny, offered praise for him and a glimpse into her role in the administration in an interview with Washingtonian magazine. The magazine featured Harp on its 2026 list of the Washington area’s 300 Most Powerful Women.
Harp's written responses to the magazine were submitted via White House communications director Steven Cheung. The publication noted that her answers, including their capitalization and tone, may resemble Trump's posts on Truth Social, a platform she assists him with and for which she has earned the nickname "Human Printer."
Harp, 35, described Trump as having "the rare gift of seeing something in people that perhaps they don’t see in themselves, male or female, young or old, and then bringing those gifts into focus." She also stated that the most challenging aspect of her job is that Washington "does not work at the speed of ‘TRUMP!’"
When asked about how she manages stress and maintains equilibrium, Harp replied, "Since the epicenter of ‘power’ is not Washington, D.C., but Heaven, every morning I listen to a few chapters of the Bible on audiobook, and pray for God’s wisdom and strength in whatever situations may arise."
