I suspect it's more about Ossoff being frightening to them than it is to anything about the specific story. There's lots of stuff about right now about women (particularly young women) being potentially key to the 2026 elections, so they're trying their hardest to get a misogyny storyline going. They can't really fight back on the other stuff Ossoff's saying, about the corruption, Iran, etc, so they're choosing to run with this.

Adding that the funny thing is that the Ossoff comment was really a nothing and was basically about Trump not doing any work. They've really had to twist and twist and then retwist to make it about her.

Totally agree @walllaw
What he said was absolutely nothing but it's just a diversion for them.

Ossoff comes across well, he fights with fire. And he was mentored by the great John Lewis, 'nuff said.

"So what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels ?"

Given he is the most powerful man in the world (!!!!) there probably is the thrill of being in the room literally next to the power. That might be enough. If she works it right her career could take a huge leap. Maybe she is Diaper monitor as well. Interesting from a pp that Melania has seemingly vanished. Does she have a schedule of First Lady duties?

She isn't even that young. She's 35. Which is t ancient by any stretch. But I wouldn't describe myself as "a young woman" either.
Old enough that youth is not an excuse basically

Yes, at 35 she should know better!

Interesting to hear an interview with her brother. He was careful what he said but reading between the lines, Trump isn't the first POTUS she pinpointed to converse with. She was also writing to George W Bush....

She gives Misery vibes.😬

Hmmmm, Scrotus being trailed by a new 'dolly bird' and Melania nowhere to be seen.

My 'conspiracy theory' is that Melania has connived and set Natalie up as her 'replacement'. Probably not as a wife chances are the prenup is not as 'favorable' as staying married to him, but as a 'companion' to keep Scrotus from wanting her (Melania's) 'company'. Wouldn't be the first time a disgusted wife acted as a 'procuress'.

@AcrossthePond55
I agree that Natalie Harp is a good decoy for Melania. Heaven forbid she should have to get close to her husband. The last footage I saw of her was coming down some plane steps with a convenient handbag in the way of him holding her hand!

I did laugh at the Misery vibes 😂
As per previous behaviour, he will discard her like an old sock when he's had enough of her!

I suppose "harping on" about something has new meaning now :-)

"A former right-wing television host, who began working for Trump after crediting him with saving her life, Harp has become a main conduit between the president and the outside world, passing along messages from allies and setting up meetings, tapping out Truth Social posts and toting printouts of laudatory articles, all while staying in close physical proximity at all hours of the day."

From this CNN article -

Meet Natalie Harp, the aide so close to Trump she once rode in an SUV trunk to accompany him | CNN Politics

Wots that about then. He saved her life ? Did she fall in the reflecting pool and catch an algae infection ?

This needs a look at. And I am looking before I post. Suicide being a serious thing if it was that.

Ahh. From the Irish star:

“When I failed the chemotherapies that were on the market, no one wanted me in their clinical trials,” Harp said in an emotional address in 2020. “They didn’t give me the right to try experimental treatments, Mr. President. You did, and without you, I’d have died waiting for them to be approved.”

Safe to hit post ? I think so. Because, there is expert doubt. From the Irish Star:

"However, experts remain skeptical of her account, noting that the details Harp provided regarding her medical treatment and the timeframe for receiving it suggest it is unlikely that Trump actually had any influence on her case."

And

"Two months before Trump even signed the law, Harp had already spoken online about receiving her new treatment. She tweeted on March 27, 2018, “Just so you know, President Trump is setting records in speeding up the drug approval process. The chemo I’m on now wasn’t approved 5 years ago.”"

"Harp accredits the life-saving treatment to a "Right to Try" law championed by the president and enacted in May 2018. However, the treatment she stated she received, "an FDA-approved immunotherapy drug for an unapproved use," as she described it, would not have been covered by the Right to Try legislation because the drug had already received FDA approval.
After being diagnosed with Stage 2 bone cancer, Harp revealed that she "failed the two available chemotherapies for my rare disease and was denied from clinical trials." Ultimately, she "found another oncologist who was willing to try a different approach, an FDA-approved immunotherapy drug for an unapproved use.""

So no. It was nothing to do with him.

Trump's mystery blonde aide Natalie Harp credits POTUS for 'saving her life' after cancer diagnosis | Irish Star

I had a look too to see if she had credited religion for saving her life too. But no hits for me on that. Although she is a practicing Christian of course, being far right. It appears she quotes the Bible on her social media.

I won't be able to get much info where I am. They tend to block stuff about guv workers.

@RedTagAlan I had to look twice at that picture to make sure it wasn't a photo of Eva Peron.

The vibe I am getting is cold, precise, robotic. Will do what it takes to get what she wants. Like Melania really. She has zero personality it seems. Melania that is.

If I believed in the supernatural, I would be trance like now, the mist is clearing, I see a riding crop, I hear a crack and get the feeling of ecstasy, and a sharp pain in the bum. Dominatrix, wicked witch of the west. Scolding a man regressing into his childhood nursery. The mist comes back, I can hear the sharp click of heels on 2 million year rated granite. There is another woman, outside... strong accent... the signal is gone.

I don't believe in that. But that is the vibe I get.

I bet KKKaroline hates her.

I see his fiscal policies are working great. Money no object:

National debt reaches grim $40 trillion milestone. Here’s why that matters | CNN Business

$40 Trillion. Spend spend spend. So, is this the downside of socialism with none of the upsides. This reminds me of a thread a few weeks back. NY Mayor Mamdani is doing a childcare trial ( He is doing a trial of one Sunday of free supervised park activities). The thread was awash with yells of " Communist Mamdani will BANKRUPT the USA.

For the record, I am not against debt like this. I saw it explained once how it works. BUT THE REPUGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AGAINST IT.

Come back Bill Clinton, balance them books.

What is Trump spending it on ? Ahh..

Trump unveils new construction project, signs piece of helipad | CNN Politics

How about his helipad ?

"Construction on the landing zone began shortly after his UFC fight in June, but CNN observed the dismantling of the stone weeks later. The White House has previously declined to provide an explanation for the changes, but the president said Wednesday he was unhappy with its slope."

“I felt it was too much slope. It’s a slope for the rain, but I felt it was too much slope,” Trump said, announcing that it was now “dead flat.”

Ahh right. So the helipad experts said it needs a slope for the water to run off, he said no, I WANT IT FLAT. I suspect that is because of the shoes he wears. Polished granite is treacherous in the wet. In my experience anyway.

What else has he done ?

".... the elimination of potholes"

He stole that from Reform, so he did.

Now the driveway :

“This was always asphalt, which is very basic, not appropriate for a great house — for a great place like the White House,” Trump said over the clanging noise of construction, gesturing at the surface he was walking on. The driveway has been redone, he added, with a California-mined white granite he described as a “very special stone.”

Hope he put proper foundations in. That beast is heavy.

Natalie might be best to drop her heels into Timpsons. Get those rubber grip pads glued on.

Did I miss the uncooperative judge in Trump v BBC case being swapped for a newly appointed one?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgvyz8e27zo

I saw some of his inane wittering about the bestest helipad and he seemed to indicate that it will also double as an entertaining space so I suspect the sensible slope wouldn't be conducive to tacky patio furniture and Louboutin heels.
What an utter tool he is.

Yup. They can have cocktails on the helipad, then go from there to his ballroom. No need to even go into the Whitehouse.

A bit like having an AIBU thread here. I am hosting a garden BBQ this weekend, but I don't want anyone to come into the house. AIBU to ask them to use the back gate ?

It appears Harp worked for more than a year without having security clearance

BULL.

Gerald BULL.

H.A.R.P.

High Altitude Research Program.

Tell, you this story has more red flags than my local bus station.

Gerald Bull was the scientist who done the supergun. And it was called HARP. He was assassinated under mysterious circumstances while he was working on Hussains supergun.

This story has more dots to join than a dalmatian with chicken pox... wearing a spotted dog coat.

Did you mean Eva Braun…

No, she was a brunette. Similar moulding though.

I think Jared's been working without one since 2016

Trump has security clearance, the bar is pretty low. How do you not get security clearance in America.

Convicted felon ✅️
Bankrupt ✅️
Dementia ✅️

And there was the matter of all the files in Mar a Lardo.

Maybe that's why she left. Knowing Natalie got in the catering truck and the secret jet whilst Karoline is out of the loop on AF1 and potentially cannon fodder.
