The Daily Beast published two 2023 letters reportedly written by Natalie Harp to Donald Trump that use intensely personal language, including lines such as "You are all that matters to me," "I don't want to ever let you down," and "You have the absolute right to cuss me out." Readers and commentators have likened the letters' obsessive tone to the film Fatal Attraction and flagged them as disturbing given Harp's proximity to the president, with commentators saying her relationship with Trump could give her outsized influence over his daily focus and policy. Rolling Stone and other outlets quoted a passage in which Harp called Trump her "Guardian and Protector in this Life." CNN noted it has not independently confirmed the letters were sent by Harp. Observers have pointed to earlier reporting, including Michael Wolff's All or Nothing, that described Harp as an "unexploded bomb" and said some Secret Service personnel viewed her as a potential threat. The story has produced visible fallout in coverage and prompted discussion about White House staffing and national security implications.

The Daily Beast obtained what it calls 'intimate' letters Natalie Harp wrote to Trump in 2023. "You are all that matters to me," Harp writes, "I don't want to ever let you down." In another passage, she says she's envious of women "whose only job seems to be to talk with you and look pretty."
