Behind these nocturnal publications, hides Natalie Harp, an assistant and major ally of Donald Trump. Sitting just in front of the Oval Office, the latter manages the American president’s news feed and the flow of information circulating about him. According to the New York Times, her colleagues nickname her the ” human printer. This is due to the fact that this “special assistant to the president” never travels without a small portable printer and its battery in order to be able to give her all the necessary information in paper form. Trump prefers this format. The American newspaper explains that this role may worry certain employees: “Ms. Harp also established herself at the center of a rapid carousel of messages, articles and information addressed to Mr. Trump. This has raised concerns among other aides who believe she has been all too willing to serve as a funnel for conspiratorial information. One of its reference sources of information is the Gateway Pundit site, which frequently broadcasts conspiracy theories espoused by the far right. Donald Trump’s teams believe that the young woman does not filter the information but has more of a channel role, writing down the president’s thoughts as he dictates them, before quickly sending them to social networks.

According to the American media, Harp does not show the publications to other Trump collaborators, Steven Cheung testifies to this effect: “We don’t discuss internal deliberations about how the process works, but no other social media tool has been more effective than Truth. Truth Social has never been hotter, and that’s because President Trump is offering his direct, unfiltered thoughts to the American people, without the media biased people don’t take it out of context.”
