Good article. My belief is that Yodd Blanche is the male equivalent of Ms.Harp.

I think you’re correct

The difference I see is that the Blanche/trump relationship is of a transactional nature and ol' Todd has arranged to profit from it. Natalie will eventually be shown the door in undignified fashion and set adrift.

If that happens, she might get psychotic

If she isn't already?

I can only imagine Scott Bessent’s role

Not exactly, Jane. I think Todd Blanche knows better, but has decided that the potential benefits of being a Trump sycophant are too great to listen to his conscience. I truly think Natalie doesn't know better. She is an automaton with only one setting. Only one project matters to her and she couldn't possibly understand why it's a problem.

It’s very sad cause she’s not normal. This situation might not end well. I see real trouble. Glad they found each other. No one else wants them

Natalie Harp's devotion or obcession to Trump is a form of mental illness, and like a preditor Trump's is feeding on it to satisfy his own need for adulation. Both are are mentally sick people and should have had treatment.

homeschooled and jerry falwell univ- no surprise there.

She sounds like a modern Squeaky Fromme. I’d worry about what she’ll do when Trump dies.

Maybe throw herself on his pyre.

Tracy Carr's avatar

Hope so ! She is clearly one very sick individual !

AcmeeCaboose's avatar

I’d almost pay to see that.

Let’s hope

GregSB's avatar

I wonder what she’d do if she got close enough to Melania

Catharine Farkas's avatar

Exactly! Scary...

She's debasing herself in fealty to a fat orange smelly 80 year old rapist, her family must be very proud

I gather that her brother is appalled.

Her devotion is a mental illness.

This is supremely creepy. Also, loyalty is the only criteria for this entire, failed administration. They all sold their souls.

Imagine hearing her family telling her you have cancer, there's no hope for you, you are no longer exceptional or required in our lives. Just let go and die. She found a helping hand and took. It. Her conditioning taught her to put her faith it him. If and when he dies or pushes her away because he no longer needs her, how do you think she will react? Suicide?

Natalie is a benefit to the goon's administration. She keeps tRump occupied with good ship lollipop news and the goon squad can continually dismantle our government.

This is all horrific and very sad at the same time.

I just keep thinking of Martin Bormann, who gained power simply by never leaving Hitler’s side.

Or Unity Mitford.

Harp is wasting the life that was saved, however it was saved.

They’re all mentally unstable and should not be in public office

Wow, just wow. The need to feed him only good news must be terribly jarring when or if she ever realizes just how he is using her. Im almost positi e there will come a day when she oss no longer useful. I feel sorry for her when that day arrives. It must be terrible to be her, forever in the shitstorn that surrounds dumpty and having to curate his news. At least to me it would be but im not a deranged idolator who worships him.

Very mentally unstable and needs intensive therapy

I think it's a personality disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder exhibits tendencies like this. It's a big spectrum, but subsuming your entire self into someone else is relatively common with this. He has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which will devour her entirely. The people in charge of his safety are right to be concerned. Borderlines can be dangerous. Good.
