Trump Calls Natalie Harp Onto Rally Stage And Things Quickly Got Very Weird

ā€œNatalie, come out,ā€ Trump called from the stage, asking her to bring an executive order allowing for the sale of tax-exempt diesel because fuel prices have soared to historic highs due to his 7-month war in Iran. ā€œBring it out. I’ll sign it right here!ā€ 

Harp, the 30-something aide who is never far from the president’s side, emerged to cheers to give him the document. Trump signed it, tossed the pen into the audience, then handed the document to Harp and patted her on the shoulder. 

ā€œShe reminds me like ā€˜The Price Is Right,ā€™ā€ Trump said after watching Harp leave the stage. 

ā€œThe Price Is Rightā€ is a long-running game show known for featuring models who present the prizes. When Bob Barker hosted the show, the models were known as ā€œBarker’s Beauties.ā€ The models were exclusively women for decades until men joined the lineup in 2012. 

Trump then seemed to place Harp in that scenario: her on the show or even getting one of her own. 

ā€œThank you, Natalie! Come on!ā€ he said. ā€œThis perfect person comes up, hands it, walks off. We should go on television with this show, right?ā€ 

Harp reportedly called Trump her ā€œGuardian and Protector in this Lifeā€ in what The New York Times described as a series of ā€œdevotional letters.ā€ She was reportedly one of just three aides who slipped off Air Force One and onto a secret second aircraft amid reports of a threat to the plane over the summer. She reportedly even jumped into the trunk of an SUV to stay near the president. 

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said Harp is like Trump’s human comfort blanket or ā€œbinkie.ā€

Critics weren’t impressed by Harp’s moment in the spotlight:
