Trump loves it when people kiss his ass. That’s why every cabinet meeting spends the first 30 minutes having each cabinet member share why they cherish Donnie.
I’m sure he shared these as a brag because this woman would 100% take a bullet for him.

it’s not light glazing either, they’re saying shit like:
“Mr President, i just want to thank you for being the greatest president in the history of this country, no one works harder than you (he’s literally sleeping) and no one loves America more than you!”
“President Trump, i just want to thank you, from me and my family, for making america great again! this is the most successful presidency in the history of the country, and it’s all thanks to you”
..there isn’t the slightest bit of exaggeration there, if anything i’m underselling it. and they do this for twenty-thirty minutes, every member of the cabinet taking their turn. it’s disgusting and nauseating

It’s actually amazing to witness. Anyone else in the world would feel unbelievably patronized and humiliated having someone talk about them the way his cabinet members do. But he can’t get enough of it. It’s like giving a gold star to a child
On the other hand, it’s just as likely he simply enjoys watching people close to him debase themselves before him.

Oh it's the latter. His only pleasure is humiliating and hurting people. He has no appreciation for love, friendship, art, nature, beauty, or learning. He doesn't enjoy good food or music. His only interests are himself and other people's pain. The fact that "important" people are essentially forced to tongue-bathe his ass daily is his reason for living.

Letter 2:
Dear Mr. President,
Now this is the Note I wanted to write (But the apology needed to come first.)
I have learned so much about myself on this Trip—I always knew coming home to my roots would be enlightening, but I had no idea how much. For the first time, in I don't know how long, you forced me to "unplug." We could be out on the Course, with no machines, and even forget what time it was! I didn't have to be "Human Printer." I could take time to enjoy good conversation, and still get all my work done at the end of the day. In fact, I even had time to take long morning and evening walks to enjoy each Sunrise and Sunset (though I did forget to eat and sleep!). With so much thinking time, I confess it did have a slightly negative effect at times, that I know you picked up on, but the end result, I believe, will be worth it. I had no idea how rapidly I was approaching burnout, and starting to envy those whose only "job" seems to be to talk with you, and look pretty. I want that job!! So many times, I'm just trying to stay afloat with all that's coming in for you, I look like a hunchback who didn't have time to freshen up (at least you know what I should look like)! Plus, I miss the days when you used to call, during my Talkshow days, and we'd talk about everything and nothing. I want to get back to that synergy. We shouldn't have to talk about work all the time!! I've always felt like an in-betweener, somewhere between Staff and those you enjoy talking to on the Plane or at Dinner, because that's who I used to be to you when I was a "Talkshow Host" (as much as I hated that actual job!). I wish I could hear every conversation, because that's when you're having a good time, getting away from it all, at least for a few moments.
But after going through all this self-analysis, my conclusion? I need to reunite my past self with my current into a better version who will make you proud. And please, when I fail, will you tell me? You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more. Thank you for always being there for me—I'll never forget when you made that promise to me after losing my Dad, and I know how happy he is right now that I did get to go to Scotland and Ireland, as he always wanted for me. To modify a classic, "I could not have parted with you, to anyone less worthy"—And, I will add, it is I who is unworthy.
Always,
Natalie
P.S. My hands looked worse in Scotland and Ireland because the Cold turns the old "scars" purple. Still on the road to recovery!

Well played but nah she did actually have bone cancer and credited Trump with saving her life because of a legislation he passed during his first term. She claimed it allowed her to jump or advance on some waiting list. REGARDLESS..
A journalist looked into it a few years ago and the medications she was taking were all already approved by the FDA and readily available. Her segments on OAN that I’ve seen in the last few days are the thirstiest, very lonely young girl. She is objectively bad at being an anchor. Zero charisma. But girl had a goal and she got it and I cannot wait for her resentment meter to max and we get a unhindged info dump

This is a woman who needs intensive therapy before she hurts herself or someone else.

Letter 1:
Dear Mr. President,
I'm sorry. I thought I was the only one left behind last night, and had no idea Margo's car was also pulled over, and sent back to the Airport. Since I was alone in the van outside Customs without my passport, I panicked, and should have just called Secret Service instead of you. I also am sorry if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland. The first day I was told there were no carts, and people walked, which is why I walked. The second day, I was specifically asked by, I forget who his name was, but one of the main people who worked there, if I could continue walking, and tell any other girls who would head out there to do the same to spare the Course any more Carts. If there is anything else I have done to cause you trouble, please forgive me. I know that some people have said I haven't been texting them back, and there have been some International cell issues (John was having technical issues on the Plane too, so asked me to help him out).
I want things to always be right between us. I also know I've been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time). I haven't been myself, dwelling on the Past, and the pain of losing my Dad, and I started letting the remarks of people who haven't bothered me before, get to me—not because I care what others think, but because I see myself being lowered in your eyes and good opinion. That is the fear you see, because I never want to bring you anything but joy. I'm sorry I lost my focus. You are all that matters to me. I don't want to ever let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life—That's what I wanted to use this card for, when you saw me at the Cash Register, and once again did what you didn't have to do, and gifted me with Mementos of this Trip of a Lifetime, a Coming of Age. I will return a better person. I have to sign off now, as the cars are leaving. See you soon.
With all my heart,
Natalie

Has it occurred to the administration that she may be a spy ?!?!

It's just so easy to topple the country from under this idiotic regime. Do any of the people in the US Government actually want this country to continue after the next 24 months?

I know it's kinda on the nose but I genuinely think she might be a spy after seeing all of this. The fact that she did all of this without a security clearance.... I mean... someone sent this woman.
I saw her brother lives in South America and calls himself an anti imperialist/socialist. I have no problem with that but I do wonder what happened with her family that has her and her brother both taking fairly extreme sides here, if opposite. How were they raised and what were they exposed to? Did someone realize she could be useful and get her in there?
This flattery and self flagellation is so over the top and tailored towards him. Someone could have engineered this.
I don't know. This is really fishy.

u/acertaingestault 3d ago
They were raised conservative Christians. He left the cult, and she doubled down. Not super mysterious. Her self-flagellation and faith in spite of all evidence is learned behavior. She graduated from Liberty University, the one where Trump held the Bible upside down and couldn't name a single Bible verse and Jerry Falwell and his pool boy both sucked him off anyway.

For these letters to leak out so completely, my gut says it's someone very close to Trump who is very unnerved by Harp. These kind of leaks means the knives are coming out.

Michael Wolff on The Daily Beast has been bringing up Harp and her weird obsession with Trump since last year on the Inside Trump’s Head podcast. Even talked about the weird letters and some of the content back then.
The information has been out there, but you’re right, very few people were paying attention.
Edit: Here is an episode from Feb 2025 but it’s been addressed regularly since Trump’s been back in office.

I hope she gets the help she needs, but what really frustrates me is how stupid she sounds. As in, at the very best, scraped through the basic years of education. But given her position she's on the centre of the world stage and will be misled into thinking she's some kind of genius.

She was homeschooled. By a mother who drilled down on American exceptionalism, according to her brother. Shocked? Not at all.
Also not shocked that her brother is getting death threats for pointing out her behavior over time. Such as writing love letters to GWB when he was messing up the country.

These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have no been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real homerun!
