Trump’s ‘human printer’ Natalie Harp, 35, ditches her desk to work from president’s private dining room as election worries grip White House
Donald Trump’s most devoted aide has abandoned her desk outside the Oval Office and moved into the president’s cluttered private dining room as fear over next week’s midterms grips the White House.
Natalie Harp, 35, now works from a spot cleared for her among towers of printed news articles whenever she is not sitting behind Trump at his desk, according to The New York Times.
Harp, nicknamed the ‘human printer’ for providing the president a constant stream of flattering printouts, is one of a shrinking band of loyalists around an increasingly cloistered Trump.
Housing chief Bill Pulte, likened by one administration official to a court jester, pops into the president’s Air Force One cabin with memes and AI-generated images.
He recently made Trump a poster of Ohio Senator Jon Husted, whose backside Trump has admired.
Sixteen current and former officials and allies also claimed that a grim mood has settled over the West Wing. The White House has been rocked by turnover, warring factions and fear of what a Democratic Congress would bring as the midterms approach.
Outside Republican groups have warned aides that Trump could sink candidates in tight battleground races.
Despite these fears, the president has pressed ahead with near-daily rallies throughout key swing states.

Over the weekend, Trump was so enraged by Bill Maher’s monologue mocking his ties to Jeffrey Epstein that he dictated a roughly 1,300-word Truth Social tirade to Harp aboard Air Force One.
‘You’re not transformative, you’re a Loser!’ the president fumed.
Trump’s explosive behavior towards his perceived political enemies and critics comes as various factions in his orbit have begun tearing each other apart.
Trump fired Katie Zacharia, the cable news pundit he hand-picked as press secretary, after just five days.
Politico then reported that Trump had privately discussed replacing Wiles herself, a claim he dismissed as ‘Total Fake News’ while insisting she had his complete confidence.
At the State Department, Trump’s longtime friend Paolo Zampolli was fired after Politico exposed his months-long email war with Marco Rubio’s number two Christopher Landau. The feud has been described by administration officials as ‘cartoonish and embarrassing.’
Meanwhile Kimberly Guilfoyle was pushed out as ambassador to Greece after it was revealed she asked a Trump donor to wire $100,000 to cover her American Express bill.
In Kristi Noem’s final hours running Homeland Security, her agency bought five planes from a donor’s firm at steep markups, according to the Times.

Administration officials are already lawyering up as Democrats vow sweeping probes and possible impeachment inquiries if they win even one chamber.
Voters are also being squeezed at the pump, with gas averaging about $4.29 a gallon on Monday, up from just under $3 when the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran in February.
With Iran still blocking the Strait of Hormuz and negotiations stalled, energy experts have predicted that prices will stay above $4 a gallon through Election Day.
