“While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings, he golfs, and trades stocks. He doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.”
— Senator Jon Ossoff
Can you believe that the last time we talked, Aliza had never heard of Donald Trump’s executive assistant, Natalie Harp (a/k/a “The Human Printer”)? Because this week, Natalie has been EVERYWHERE, thanks to the mass MAGA freakout over Jon Ossoff’s clever dig in his campaign speech last weekend.
“I feel a little bad for her on some levels because she’s, you know, obviously got daddy issues or whatever,” Karoli notes. “And she’s kind of acting out like there’s a picture. I don’t, you know, there’s all these stories about, you know, like how she throws herself in a trunk or how she runs after the golf carts and everything. And I guess Meidas Touch actually got a picture of her running after the golf carts at the New Jersey tournament. And I was like, I don’t know. I just want to take her aside.”
More disturbing were the revelations that Trump’s ever-present aide worked at the White House for over a year without a security clearance.
“Harp is constantly near the president, apparently has extraordinary personal access, and has become emotionally indispensable to a man increasingly obsessed with loyalty and betrayal. That is not merely bizarre. It is an intelligence officer’s Christmas list.”
— Rick Wilson
So Natalie Harp is more than just another Trump era danger. So is the president’s personal DC urban renewal project. This week we learned that his “stupid ass ballroom” is already 60 feet tall, thanks to construction crews working 20 hours a day, 7 days a week to get it finished before the Supreme Court can offer a decision on the lawsuits to stop it.
And just before we went on air, John Roberts gave the builders a boost by allowing the building to continue while they’re weighing in on the matter.
“If [Democrats] take back the Senate and they take back the House, on day one in 2027, they have the ability to do all kinds of things. The court reform, first before anything else. It has to be first before anything else.,” Karoli said.
