Story published. Natalie Harp's intense loyalty to Donald Trump led her to climb into the trunk of an SUV to accompany him to a court hearing in New York City when there was no space for her in the motorcade
Natalie Harp, a devoted aide to Donald Trump, reportedly climbed into the trunk of an SUV to accompany Trump to a court hearing in New York City when there was no space for her in the motorcade. The incident, which occurred in October 2023, has been described as an example of Harp's intense loyalty to the president.
The incident began when a 'screaming match' took place in the lobby of Trump Tower after there was no room for Natalie Harp in the motorcade. Despite the lack of space, Harp insisted she had been asked by Trump to attend the hearing. With no seat available, she climbed into the trunk of an SUV, according to sources and a photograph seen by CNN.
Natalie Harp has been a member of Trump's staff since 2022. She first came to Trump's attention in 2019 and has been described by a White House advisor as '100 percent committed and loyal' to Trump. Harp has also spoken about the personal impact Trump has had on her life, saying that he 'saved her life' after she was diagnosed with stage II bone cancer.
Harp's loyalty to Trump has been demonstrated in other ways, including when she was one of a small number of aides who were transferred to a military plane in Turkey to avoid a suspected assassination threat by Iran. Her devotion to the president has been noted by her colleagues, with some reportedly being 'unnerved' by her level of commitment.
## Why it matters The incident highlights the intense loyalty and devotion that some of Trump's aides have for the president. It also raises questions about the dynamics at play within Trump's team and the lengths to which some individuals will go to demonstrate their commitment. As the story of Natalie Harp's ride in the SUV trunk continues to garner attention, it remains to be seen how this will impact her role within Trump's team and the wider perception of the president's relationships with his staff.
