Natalie Harp, 35, a special assistant to President Donald Trump, gave a written interview to the Washingtonian that ran online Thursday. She appears on the magazine's 2026 list of the Washington area’s 300 Most Powerful Women, and her answers were submitted via White House Communications Director Steven Cheung. The magazine noted that Harp’s tone and capitalization echo posts on Truth Social, which she helps manage and for which she has been nicknamed the "Human Printer." In the interview she praised Trump, criticized Washington’s slow pace, and described starting each day with Bible audiobooks and prayer.

Natalie Harp, a 35-year-old special assistant to President Donald Trump, gave a written interview to the Washingtonian that was published online Thursday, offering effusive praise for the president and an inside look at her role in the administration.
Harp was included on the Washingtonian's 2026 list of the Washington area’s 300 Most Powerful Women. The magazine said her written responses were submitted via White House Communications Director Steven Cheung and noted that elements of her replies — particularly capitalization and tone — may remind readers of Trump’s posts on Truth Social, a platform she helps manage. That work has earned her the nickname the "Human Printer."
The exchange highlights both Harp’s public loyalty and why observers have paid increased attention to her communications style and close relationship with the president.
Select Quotes From the Interview
At 35, Harp praised Trump, saying he has “the rare gift of seeing something in people that perhaps they don't see in themselves, male or female, young or old, and then bringing those gifts into focus.”
Asked about the hardest part of the job, she said Washington "does not work at the speed of 'TRUMP!'"
On how she maintains balance, Harp wrote: "Since the epicenter of 'power' is not Washington, D.C., but Heaven, every morning I listen to a few chapters of the Bible on audiobook, and pray for God's wisdom and strength in whatever situations may arise."
The written interview provides a window into Harp's public-facing support for the president and underscores why her role in shaping and amplifying Trump’s messages has drawn scrutiny.
