Trump in love with a 35-year-old as presidency crumbles around him?

0:00 Rumors are exploding that Donald Trump may be having

0:03 an affair with his 35 year old assistant, Natalie Harp.

0:08 Now, I know that this may sound like the start of a gossip type story,

0:13 and I assure you that it is not,

0:15 and that this is not a show that does pointless gossip.

0:18 There is a lot of highly, highly relevant high stakes stuff here.

0:23 But let's start at the beginning.

0:25 We do not have evidence at this point in time

0:28 that Donald Trump is dating his 35 year old assistant, Natalie Harp.

0:32 Remember, Natalie Harp is the individual who has a portable printer,

0:37 and she'll print out tweets that Trump might like

0:40 to see and leaves them little notes around the residence.

0:43 And he said something along.

0:45 This is in the Regime Change book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

0:48 She has said stuff about how she'll she won't abandon Trump,

0:53 and Trump has said she's the only one who will stick with me.

0:56 So there's something kind of weird going on there.

0:58 Fine.

0:59 We now are in a situation where there are growing

1:02 rumors that this may be more than simply a work relationship.

1:06 Now, I am not alleging to have knowledge that that is the case,

1:09 but I am reporting to you that these are topics that are being discussed.

1:14 This would probably change nothing for Trump's

1:18 most moralistic supporters who say, oh,

1:20 I'm a Christian and I'm an evangelical, and all this stuff,

1:24 we they didn't care about his previous affairs.

1:26 They didn't care about the fact that he

1:28 was pro-choice for his first 68 years in life,

1:30 or that he never pretended to be religious until he went into politics.

1:33 They don't care about it.

1:35 That gets us to Natalie Harp.

1:37 Natalie Harp as Trump's executive assistant.

1:41 It turns out when Trump was secretly moved from Air Force One in Turkey

1:47 because of that Iranian assassination threat

1:49 that I talked to you about yesterday.

1:51 Harp was among the teeny tiny group of people that was taken with Donald Trump.

1:58 Cabinet officials, including the Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

2:02 stayed on the plane that was believed to be a target of the Iranians.

2:07 So that proves that Natalie Harp has access.

2:10 It doesn't prove that there is romance,

2:12 but she was chosen over Marco Rubio to go

2:15 on the safe plane and to get Trump away from danger.

2:19 But that's when my mind goes back to Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's book,

2:25 where they detail in regime change a lot

2:28 of information that only fuels the speculation.

2:30 They say, well, you know,

2:31 she leaves these adoring letters to Trump in his personal spaces.

2:35 You are all that matters to me.

2:37 Trump has told staff.

2:39 She's the only person who loves me as much as my wife and kids.

2:43 All of you will go off and make money, but she is never going to leave me.

2:48 Still not evidence of an affair, but this is sort of building into.

2:52 Is something going on here now, what I believe is the most consequential issue.

2:57 It's not whether Trump is having yet another affair he's had.

3:00 Who the hell knows how many at this point in time.

3:03 The more consequential issue is Harp's influence.

3:07 She is known as the human printer.

3:10 As I told you, she gives Trump these flattering stories and tweets.

3:13 She prints them out.

3:13 And Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan have talked about how

3:17 she will sit nearby fulfilling requests for Trump on a whim.

3:21 And by late 2025, according to the book Regime Change,

3:25 she had the most control over Trump's Truth social account,

3:29 a truth social account that is affecting

3:31 foreign policy and that is also moving markets.

3:34 She also is controlling what information even gets

3:37 to Donald Trump and what is published under his name.

3:40 This is so important because Donald Trump leads

3:45 a political coalition that says we represent Christianity,

3:50 we represent marital fidelity and sexual morality and the sanctity of life.

3:57 While evangelical Protestants backed him by 8 to 1 in 2024.

4:03 And yet Trump's life has no resemblance to any of that moral code.

4:11 You know the list, right?

4:12 I mean, married three times, liable for sexual abuse,

4:17 convicted of 34 felony counts involving business records used

4:21 to conceal a hush money payment to a porn star.

4:23 40 something allegations of misconduct of various degrees.

4:30 And Trump denies all of it, of course.

4:34 But we know that at least a bunch of this stuff is completely true.

4:38 He's the religious guy,

4:40 but there is no evidence that religion guides anything that Donald Trump does.

4:44 He has these transactional displays of faith.

4:47 He can't really tell us anything about Bible

4:49 verses he cares about or any of that.

4:51 And yet he sort of presents himself as the protector of Christianity.

4:57 Same thing with abortion.

4:58 Trump has been pro-choice his entire life, decided to run for office.

5:02 And he goes, oh, I, I'm, I'm against abortion.

5:06 And then he chooses Supreme Court justices who

5:08 are ultimately involved in overturning Roe v Wade,

5:11 something which, by the way, arguably was was not particularly popular.

5:17 But that's sort of a different story.

5:19 So when evangelical leaders are confronted with this stuff,

5:21 whether or not he's having an affair with Natalie Harp,

5:25 evangelical leaders will go, listen.

5:27 Trump is an imperfect vessel for our message.

5:30 But isn't everyone imperfect to some degree?

5:33 And they say we still support imperfect people because he's right on policy.

5:39 So the hypocrisy comes from presenting that bargain

5:44 as sort of a crusade for personal morality.

5:47 If credible evidence emerged tomorrow that Trump was dating

5:50 35 year old Natalie Harp Harp while he is married,

5:54 would these leaders abandon him?

5:56 I believe the answer is absolutely not.

6:00 They would first attack the source and then they would go,

6:03 well, even if it's true, that's private.

6:05 And what ultimately matters is policy.

6:08 And Trump is right on policy.

6:09 Now, we don't have evidence right now that Trump is dating Natalie Harp.

6:13 The documented reality is of an unusually

6:17 devoted aide with extraordinary personal and informational access.

6:23 And the hypocrisy is really the story.

6:26 Trump may be dating her.

6:28 He may not.

6:29 The reaction is what exposes the truth,

6:32 which is that for Trump's evangelical supporters,

6:35 personal morality is not a standard applied to their leader.

6:41 It's a weapon applied to everybody else.

6:43 That is a feature of cults.

6:45 We've talked about so many of the different features

6:48 of cults that are visible in Trump's governance and his administration,

6:52 and this includes that the leader is always right,

6:55 that if anybody criticizes the leader,

6:57 they must not understand him and all of these different things.

7:00 If you start to question the leader,

7:02 you're pulled back in by other cult members.

7:04 All of that stuff exists.

7:05 But one of the real features of cults is that the very same

7:11 standards that are applied to the followers are never applied to the leader,

7:16 and that is exactly what is going on here.
