I Have Natalie Harp’s ‘Love Letters’ to Trump | Inside Trump’s Head
Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles go inside the increasingly bizarre inner workings of Donald Trump’s presidency, beginning with Wolff’s extraordinary account of Natalie Harp’s deeply personal letters to Trump and the alarm they sparked among campaign staff and the Secret Service. They explore how Harp became one of the president’s closest gatekeepers, what her influence says about the people surrounding him, and why Trump’s White House remains driven by loyalty, proximity, and personal obsession. Then, as the war with Iran drags on without a clear endgame, Wolff and Coles turn to Pete Hegseth, his ever-present wife, and the mounting signs of dysfunction at the Pentagon before asking whether a presidency once defined by raw power is now slipping into something far more chaotic: outright farce.

A younger subordinate? Is that similar to Wolf and second wife at Vanity Fair?

To me the danger is this woman who has been obsessed with Presidents for awhile displays obsessive compulsive behaviors. It reminds me of Fatal Attraction. Im sure people, secret security fear her lack of sanity could lead to her to injuring the President and others.

Have you talked to the brother. He says that she had written to Presidents before Trump. What does that make her?

Actually, we, American taxpayers, are paying Natalie Harp, Trump isn’t paying her.

Fostering kids-Especially in Florida -is linked to child trafficking. I’m not sure it’s such a good initiative

7:30 – Everyone knows that Trump can't handle the affordability issue. It's not like the Democrats in office are well liked either. If there is going to be a big change, the Democrats needs to actually need to actually have a vision. Just saying, Trump is terrible obviously doesn't work at beating over coming Trump or his party. Wolf is entirely missing the point and David Axelrod is right.

It's like hearing the script to fatal attraction 2. I have a fear that Natalie Harp is going to be even more extreme than the original 'Bunny Boiler'. It's mind blowing.

Is DTs out for the IRAN-US "war"
that the US "must" redeploy the US military to the US mainland to protect it?

Is she like this all the time? From the letters she seems really manic. I can’t imagine having to work with her.

One of the biggest lies told, that they are married. She is a fake FLOTUS. She does nothing to deserve the title.

The entire world is being dragged to hell and these people are watching a Cult Leader and his top Cult Devotee play hide and go get it. It's disrespect of the HIGHEST order to a people and a nation who still have so much to do in forming a more perfect Union.

I'm reminded of Monica Lewinsky & Bill Clinton; seems like a similar dynamic. ( with or without the sex.)

The letters are from a horror movie, I would run away from someone like Natalie; also from Trump

I’m surprised citizens don’t object to the fact Ms Trump is provided tax payers money for hardly any work.
