More on Natalie Harpā¦
āPrintedā ā getting that text from Natalie Harp is as close as you can get to a presidential read receipt bc it means sheās printed it and will show it to Trump.
MTG appealed to Harp in a 72-word text message when Trump unleashed a series of attacks against MTG on Truth Social.
And the White House response to Ossoffās comment about Harp:
āNatalie Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump's team,ā WH spox Davis Ingle said. āJon Ossoff is a cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid cosplaying as Barack Obama. Nobody gives a shit what this lightweight loser says.ā
Sheās is a crucial node in a system in which his aides assemble piles of supportive letters, op-eds, social media posts and other material for him to review and Trump scrawls responses on the printouts with his big black Sharpie, which aides photograph and send back to their authors.
