While Melania Trump mostly remains absent from public appearances alongside Donald Trump, the president was recently seen with his 35-year-old aide. Natalie Harp, who joined the Trump administration during his second term, accompanied him to his National Golf Club in New Jersey over the weekend.
She boarded Air Force One alongside the 80-year-old president and a few others before it departed from Morristown Municipal Airport for Washington, D.C. Harp appeared carrying an enormous and mysterious red bag with her to the flight, and was later seen driving a golf cart behind Trump.
Netizens React to Natalie Harp’s Travel With Donald Trump
After images of Natalie Harp accompanying Donald Trump on his New Jersey golf trip went viral, people began reacting negatively on social media.
Harp appeared boarding the flight as a seemingly ever-present aide to Trump and later appeared driving a golf cart behind the president, wearing Trump merchandise. She accompanied Trump on his trip while his wife, Melania Trump, was not by his side, further fueling speculation about their marriage.
Netizens on X weren’t happy to see Harp with Trump on his golf trip, and slammed them, saying, “My gas and groceries are still expensive.” Some even mocked Harp for her appearance, saying, “She gives off fatal attraction vibes,” while another jabbed, “she’s always got that creepy smile.”
Others criticized Harp and wondered, “How is a young woman like that so desperate for attention that she chooses to be Donald Trump’s lil mistress?”
A few users even fixated on the mysterious contents of the red bag that Harp appeared to be carrying while boarding the flight. One user wrote, “Can we all just stop pretending Ms Harp is with Trump 24×7 for diaper changes??? She is his latest concubine.”

Another user added, “Cause those sh–ty diapers won’t change themselves!” While some even called her, “The [expletive] bag girl.”
Trump Previously Replaced Harp With a Female Assistant
Although people reacted negatively to the idea of Natalie Harp accompanying Donald Trump to New Jersey, there was a time when Harp was temporarily replaced.
During Trump’s Michigan trip on July 27, Harp, who rarely leaves the president’s side, was replaced by his female assistant Margo Martin. According to Mandatory, after Trump spoke highly of Martin, calling her the “most beautiful woman in the world,” he took her on his Michigan trip.
Although Trump described Harp as “the only one who loves him as much as his wife and his kids,” she was still replaced temporarily with Martin.
