They're talking about Natalie Harp because"she was chosen to join the president on the secret food-delivery-truck rescue gambit" and because Senator Jon Ossoff, a potential Democratic Party nominee for President, observed, "[Trump] doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar.'"
The Times article also refers to Harp as a "sylphlike woman."
The quote "With all my heart, Natalie" — seen in the article headline is the sign-off of a letter Harp wrote to Trump in which she apologized for attracting press coverage as she walked a golf course as Trump played golf and, naturally, used a golf cart. I guess that looked foolish to some observers looking for one more thing to revile. I haven't read about the incident, but I suspect she wanted the exercise. I've walked golf courses as a spectator. It's normal for spectators to walk.
"The letter goes on to say: '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).'"

My own tag for stories like this is "people who don't like Trump, say things about Trump"
Possible Streisand Effect. Natalie's life was saved by Trump's "right to try" edict, in which terminally ill patients can opt for unproven treatments, because, "what do you have to lose." She has been devoted to POTUS ever since. So, let's talk about that, and also the drop in prescription drug prices due to Trump's "Most Favored Nation" drug pricing policy. AFFORDABILITY!
"With all my heart"
Powerful men attract women like food attracts bears.
Trump is just a friendly boss. Stop making insinuations.
The whole thing is sleazy Dems smearing some poor woman to score political points with their depraved audience.
OSS OFF sound like every leftwing late night TeeVee a-hole.
Perhaps he should OSS OFF.
When you are devoid of facts - use slander and innuendo.
OSS OFF - the E Jean of the left.
"Stop making insinuations."
I'm not making insinuations about him. I'm making observations about them. The gushing is sycophantic.
My favorite posts right now are snowflake Trump supporters, of all people, crying about Ossoff’s line about Natalie Harp.

Not according to the pedants at The New Republic
Haberman has NO credibility, which is why she works at the Times.
For a moment there, I thought I’d been transported back in time. Remember the coverage of Hope Hicks? (I think I’ve got that name right, from just memory?) Another example of “everything old is new again.” But I won’t again post the obvious vid link. You’re welcome.
Isn’t it pretty normal for a person in a very high-ranking, very demanding job to have a trusty aide who is basically always there and slavishly devoted? Seems like a long-standing trope, mocked in Veep (Gary the bagman) and even The Simpsons (Mr. Smithers). I assume those mocking a real phenomenon.
I’m just not sure why this is … anything.
OSS OFF IEE bot.
The recent stories about Natalie Harp appears to stem from internal dissatisfaction within the West Wing. It is unlikely a coincidence that these leaks are emerging as Karoline Leavitt prepares to depart.
Maggie is a “syphylitic” woman. To her core .
"I’m just not sure why this is … anything."
Because the people pushing it are assholes.
I walk golf courses all the time while playing; the guys playing with me with bad knees ride carts. Except for the pros* (and maybe high-end amateur/college) there is no requirement that a player walk vs. riding and there is absolutely no stigma attached.
*Yes I know all about the Casey Martin case.
More fake news.
As is IEE™.
“[Trump] doesn’t want to do the job…..” Has anybody ever worked harder at being POTUS than Donald Trump? The lies told by prominent Democrats no longer bear any resemblance to the facts.
Has anyone seen Melania lately?
Golf can only be considered exercise if you walk the course. It's not exercise if you use a golf cart. So good for her for walking the course.
"Platinum blonde geyser" is also Meade's top Pornhub search.
hombre--the disconnect is striking. I'm old enough to remember last week when Trump was up all night tweeting and drinking too many diet cokes. And for a guy who "doesn't want to do the job" he spends an awful lot of time jetting to meetings with foreign leaders and making provocative speeches; issuing executive orders that the libs deplore; and talking on the phone with Bibi Netanyahu (if our most prolific commenters are to be believed), etc.
The link goes to an Althouse page which apparently doesn't exist, according to the Althouse page.

Certainly this is worthy of another Pulitzer for Maggie to go next to her RussiaGate Pulitzer.
I smell panic in the air
"I’m just not sure why this is … anything."
Because when there was "life boat" situation, Trump picked Natalie and left everyone else on Air Force One to get shot down. Like it or not, when the President escapes Air Force One on a catering cart it really is "newsworthy." And his chosen companion in that situation is also newsworthy. Stop being such crybabies.
Trump owes his whole fucking career--the WHOLE FUCKING THING--to tabloid media coverage. Without the National Enquirer nobody would know who Trump even is. So to be bunch of bedwetting crybabies that he continues to garner (for Anne) tabloid media coverage is just too much. When you vote for Trump you are also voting for the rumors of which pornstar is sucking his cock. Everybody knows this. Grow up.
"I’m just not sure why this is … anything."
If you're Dabney Coleman to Dolly Parton's Doralee Rhodes in "9 To 5" it's usually not anything. However, men with real power and real responsibility needing a slavishly obsequious suckup (man or woman) in close proximity to them for reassurance or whatever is a character flaw.
"So to be bunch of bedwetting crybabies that he continues to garner (for Anne) tabloid media coverage is just too much."
You could at least spell her name right.
I would have thought Prof. A would have been more angry about Ossoff implying that a woman in an important job must be a whore. Par for the course, though, that a performative lefty like IEE is defending the sexist slur. It never takes much to show that people like that really don't like women.

He also chose Hegseth over other cabinet members. Hegseth is much better looking than those other cabinet members. Has Maggie Haberman looked into this? Was his friendship with Epstein purely platonic? Perhaps that grab them by the pussy statement was a case of overcompensation. Did anyone ask that young lifeguard if Trump had made unwanted advances to him. The fact that we don't know the answer to these questions is troubling.
...it looks they're trying to insinuate he's fucking her...
Of course they are. They're "journalists". They're nothing if not tawdry and shallow.

Remember the coverage of Hope Hicks?

Indeed I do. The same insinuations were made, without any basis in reality except the well-known fact that Trump gives important jobs to women, and those women are usually easy on the eye.
In fact, Hope Hicks was not doing anything untoward behind closed doors with Trump. She was banging Corey Lewandowski, who also bagged Kristi Noem, if the rumors are to be believed. Lucky son of a bitch punches way above his weight for some reason.
Please, Jon Ossof, focus on your claim that our president is having sex. That's your ticket to reelection.
Remember when Maggie Haberman was cranking out pieces exposing the inner social dynamics of the Biden White House?
I don't either.
Must be because Biden ran a tight ship, was sharp as a tack and was obviously the man in charge.
Maggie Haberman citing a previous gossip piece by ... Maggie Haberman as a source is really par for the course.
DD very, very upset that Trump didn't get assassinated in Turkey. And that Trump got elected 2 (or 3) times despite everyone who voted for him knowing all about his "tabloid" past.
Bummer.
"Her double-barreled title is special assistant to the president and executive assistant to the president."
Thank you. Maggie. Were there no people with those titles in previous administrations?

That’s the funny part. Ossoff didn’t make the allegation — MAGA supplied it themselves. Sometimes the defensive reaction tells you more than the original comment ever did.
Ossoff knew what he was doing. He left just enough unsaid for MAGA to fill in the blank themselves.
"Ossoff didn’t make the allegation"
You have to be a real dimwit to believe that.
This attempted slander looks exactly like what it is: bread crumbs thrown to the pigeons.
"You have to be a real dimwit to believe that."
That's why Democrats feed their base this stuff. They have a very low opinion of their own voters, with good reason.
Ann, the gift link is broken
What Ossoff actually said at his August 16 campaign rally was that Trump “doesn’t want to do the job” and instead “wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie” on the Qatar-gifted aircraft.
The Washington Post likewise characterizes Ossoff’s remarks as criticism of Trump’s decision to travel with Harp and not as an allegation that they were having sex.
What’s telling is how upset MAGA world has become over a comment Ossoff didn’t even make. He criticized Trump for avoiding the job and traveling with Natalie Harp; he did not claim Trump was having sex with her. You can object to the innuendo if you want, but turning it into “Ossoff accused Trump of having sex with Harp” is simply embellishing what was actually said. The outrage seems to be doing more work than the facts.
Nag-a-bot
You leftists string it all together with your wish-facts - then deny you do it. again - OSS OFF - leftist cultist.
Will teh gift link
Be unbroken
Bye and bye, Satan
Bye and bye
“…of which pornstar is sucking his cock. Everybody knows this.”
Saucer of milk for one: DeeDee Drivel and shim’s competition will battle for it.
…a broken gift link to NYT is indeed a gift…
I see a "journalist" in Miami has no referred to Ms. Harp as "Trump's side piece". I hope my sense of smell is correct in thinking that's an actionable claim for defamation?
Link fixed. Sorry.
Sylphlike is feminine beautiful. A compliment.
The comments of some of our resident lefties here leave me sad that we don't see Chuck anymore, and that Inga seems to have better things to do. They set a standard that seems too difficult for the current bunch to meet.
“The outrage seems to be doing more work than the facts”.
Under Trump, MAGA needs their daily fix of outrage. Without the outrage they might have to think of all the campaign promises broken, the mess Trump made in the Mideast, the price of gas, groceries, etc.
Ugly people on the left are going after Natalie Harp because she is smokin' hot.
There is nothing sexual about Donald Trump having a woman who is paid to change his diaper.
Reggie Love was Obama's body man. Huma was Hillary's. Did the NYT analyze those relationships and make insinuations?
Unmistakably, the following makes it sound as if Ossoff alleged Trump travelled solely for the purpose of being with Harp.

Drudge is much focused on Natalie Harp today. https://www.drudgereport.com/
Apparently, AA not aware of her before, though she has been in the news for years. Or else the golf walk comment was sarcastic.
Jeez, Marty. You spoke the name...
“Jeez, Marty. You spoke the name...”
“Just call my name
And I'll come running
Just call my name
And I'll come running
Ever had a love
That you could call on when you were in trouble
Ever had a love
Who comes to you on the double
There's no need to look no look no further
I'm waiting here for you.”
Soooo-eee! PIG!!!
Just think of all the fun the ghouls in here would be having if Natalie were Joe Biden's diaper nurse.
Do you think she does baby talk while she changeds his nappy?
*I’m just not sure why this is … anything.*
Because the drooling imbeciles on the left have to scream about something new. Every day.
*Under Trump, MAGA needs their daily fix of outrage.*
You'll never find a more perfect example of projection.
he's a dictator
he's a puppet
he's old
he bangs 30 year olds in an SUV.
And it all gets reported, talked about, sliced and diced.

You'd think they'd have compassion for the woman being slandered.
…some people don’t get to walk the golf course- security reasons. Don’t ask me how I know…
he’s the world’s worst businessman- bankruptcies!
he’s a devious sheister making billions because he’s the President…
You think you’re gonna shame the porn-star-bangin’ pussy-grabber by accusing him of having a hot blonde assistant?
The nineties just called and said it wants its charmingly innocent politics back.
Nothing like punching down, right Ossoff?
Interesting how decades of feminism still leads to suggestions that if a woman is seen in the workforce then it is assumed she must be sleeping with the boss.
Earnest Prole appears to have forgotten about credibly accused but never convicted rapist Bill Clinton. You might have better luck reaching back to Gary 'Monkey Business' Hart.

They hate everyone. Especially themselves. If you're young, hot and blonde you might as well be Sauron.
All presidents have affairs with printer-wielding young women who resemble their daughter, but the media only reports when Trump does it.
The latest rip is that she jumped into the back of one of the motorcade SUVs to keep up with him. So what?
As usual, democrats can say any effing thing they want about female republicans and the feminists will look away. Every damn time. Feminists are cowards.
O'Mike,
> You'd think they'd have compassion
> for the woman being slandered
For a *Republican* woman? You're new here, aren't ya?
Nb: Natalie Harp is one of those real believer type of Christians. Jerry Falwell’s Church created Liberty U where sincere public expression of Faith in Scriptures is the norm.
Sincere faith in Judeo Christianity and admiration of DJT ‘s skills always go together.( full disclosure: I have 2 grandchildren
who are graduates of Liberty U.)
.
Maggie Haberman still hasn't returned her fake Pulitzer she got for her lies about the fake Russian Collusion hoax. Why anybody still takes ANYTHING she writes seriously is a big part of the problem in America with our lying media.
Nobody in the Senate is senatororial anymore.
Maybe it really should be abolished.

There is one thing you learn, if you're smart, when you are in a management position. Either in politics or business or even a softball team. As my sainted step father would say, "you don't shit where you eat."
