Why I Decided to Publish Natalie Harp’s Trump Letters: Author

Photo Illustration by Victoria Sunday/The Daily Beast/Getty Images/Reuters Donald Trump’s biographer is sounding the alarm on newly uncovered letters written by his “lovesick” aide Natalie Harp, saying they offer a concerning glimpse into her extraordinary relationship with the president.

“These letters are a red flag,” author Michael Wolff told the Inside Trump’s Head podcast.

The Daily Beast on Thursday published, in full, two letters Harp, 35, wrote to Trump, 80, revealing a relationship that appears to have few boundaries, amid mounting concerns over her proximity to the president and the nature of their relationship.

Extracts from the letters have previously been published, but the full texts and images of the originals have never been seen.

The letters, apparently written during or immediately after Trump’s May 2023 golfing trip to his courses in Aberdeen and Turnberry, Scotland, and Doonbeg, Ireland, were handed to Wolff while he was writing his latest book, All or Nothing , which chronicled Trump’s 2024 campaign.

They show Harp professing her utter devotion to the president while unburdening herself about her deepest emotions and personal troubles.

In one letter, Harp launches into a string of apologies to Trump, before declaring: “I never want to bring you anything but joy.

I’m sorry I lost my focus.

You are all that matters to me.

I don’t want to ever let you down.” “Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life,” she adds, mimicking the president’s trademark capitalization style.

In the other letter, Harp tells Trump, who is more than four decades her senior, that she is envious of women “whose only job seems to be to talk with you and look pretty.” The former OAN news anchor, who joined Trump’s staff in 2022, writes that she missed the days when he would call “and we’d talk about everything and nothing,” before offering another striking display of her devotion to Trump.

“You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more,” she writes.

“This is all wrong,” Wolff told co-host Joanna Coles.

“Just the extraordinary nature of an aide—and theoretically a lower level aide—writing this kind of... heartfelt letter to the candidate, a man... running to be the president of the United States.” The Trump biographer argued that Harp is not acting like a “subordinate.” “That’s what is... confusing here and what’s problematic, and certainly problematic from the point of view of his professional staff, which is why I am in possession of these letters.
