Summary of Key Points
The latest hot topic in American politics involves Natalie Harper, a 90s-born female assistant to Trump. Once an unknown individual, she suddenly became a sensation due to two personal letters revealing her obsessive admiration for Trump, as well as her unique powers at the White House—monopolizing information, posting tweets on his behalf, and acting as a channel for foreign leaders to communicate with Trump. This incident is not just gossip; it also exposes the double standards of the MAGA movement, the moral hypocrisy of American conservatives, and the flawed nature of the U.S. presidential system, where power is unregulated, resembling the absurd influence of eunuchs in ancient times.
I. Who is Harper? And how “abnormal” is her relationship with Trump?
Harper was born in 1991 into an extremist evangelical family in San Diego, California. Her father, a real estate developer, refused to let her go to school, fearing it would “corrupt” her with evolutionary theories, and instead had her educated at home by her mother, resulting in her limited English skills (she frequently used capital letters and outdated vocabulary in her letters). She attended evangelical universities and joined Trump’s team in 2022, eventually becoming a presidential administrative assistant with an annual salary of $150,000 in 2025.
Her obsession with Trump is almost pathological:
- Obsessive behavior in her letters: She begged Trump, “If I fail, you can criticize me; no one cares about me more than you,” and viewed him as her “guardian and protector,” thanking him for the “souvenirs” he gave her.
- Extreme actions: During Trump’s court appearances in 2023, she followed him even by squeezing into the trunk of his car. When the team moved, she slept in the women’s dressing room for several months because she didn’t have her own room.
- Unprecedented power: She carried a portable printer with her everywhere, acting as a “human printer” to print praise messages and briefings for Trump. She could also post on Trump’s Truth Social account, sharing Nazi-style videos and editing photos to portray him as Jesus. She even served as a contact for foreign leaders when they needed to reach Trump.
II. The MAGA movement’s hypocrisy on political correctness: Criticizing feminism, yet now pretending to be pro-feminist
The incident that sparked Harper’s fame began when Democratic Senator Ossoff mentioned traveling with her at a rally. Normally, this would be a minor attack, but the MAGA movement suddenly turned into a chorus of “feminist fighters,” accusing Ossoff of “discriminating against professional women” and spreading rumors, demanding his removal from office.
This is ironic, given that MAGA is known for its anti-feminist stance. Trump himself often makes derogatory comments about women, and conservatives promote the idea of the “traditional wife” as a submissive partner. However, for the sake of attacking their opponents, they quickly adopt feminist rhetoric, using political correctness as a tool with remarkable skill.
III. The lies of conservative “traditional wives”
Harper’s obsessive behavior is not an isolated case within the MAGA community. This scandal also covers up another story: Florida school supervisor Ziegler, founder of the conservative “Free Mothers” organization, was accused of raping women alongside her husband. The president of Harper’s alma mater, Liberty University, professor Faivre, sent explicit photos of his wife to Trump’s lawyer and complained about her infidelity.
These individuals preach about Christian chastity and traditional family values but are themselves morally corrupt. What they really want are submissive “prey” like Harper, not the “traditional wife” ideal. But what if these women become unstable mentally as a result of their treatment? No one can predict the consequences.
IV. The flaws in the U.S. presidential system: Can power be exercised without proper authorization?
The most concerning aspect of Harper’s situation is her long-term refusal to undergo security clearance at the White House. According to regulations, staff in the West Wing must undergo federal background checks before accessing classified information, but she didn’t apply for over a year. It was only after security concerns were raised that Trump personally intervened to get her cleared.
Even more absurdly, she monopolized Trump’s information flow, only showing him praise messages from his supporters and filtering out negative content. She also posted official tweets on his account, which were used by investors and foreign leaders to understand U.S. policy. This is akin to the role of eunuchs in ancient empires, controlling both information and communications. How can a superpower with 6,000 nuclear weapons operate in such a chaotic manner?
V. The potential dangers of the Harper incident: A time bomb?
Harper’s presence poses risks to both the United States and the world:
- National security: Her access to classified information without proper clearance could lead to her being exploited by those with ulterior motives.
- Decision-making biases: Trump’s reliance on her filtered information may lead to poor decisions.
- Extreme behavior: Her obsessive behavior could potentially lead to extreme actions on his part.
This incident highlights that the U.S. presidential system appears formalistic, but in reality, power is exercised arbitrarily. Trump allows anyone he wants to hold power, disregarding established rules. This is far from a modern democratic system; it resembles the autocratic rule of a feudal dynasty.
Conclusion
The Harper incident is more than just gossip; it reflects the double standards of American politics, the hypocrisy of conservatives, and the flaws in the system. When a mentally unstable individual can control such critical information in a superpower, we must be concerned about the potential consequences. Could this “bomb” explode at any moment?
