Trump’s ‘human printer’ is also his social media filter

Published May 22, 2024 10:45am ET



Former President Donald Trump is frequently seen reading news articles and social media clippings on printed paper as he addresses the media after being in court for his criminal hush money trial. The printouts come courtesy of his “human printer,” Natalie Harp. 

According to the Bulwark, it is believed that Harp, 32, entered Trump’s orbit in 2019, then worked on his 2020 campaign. Trump at the time called her “that young, beautiful woman.” Now, she provides Trump printouts of news and posts from social media via a portable printer she carries around with rechargeable batteries so that Trump, 77, does not need to strain his eyes to see a phone screen. Harp is always around Trump to provide his papers, even sitting at the defense’s table during his hush money trial in Manhattan.
