White House insiders furious at mysterious aide enabling Trump's midnight posting sprees
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
President Donald Trump's Truth Social account has become a round-the-clock amplification machine since his return to the White House, and an aide who helps him generate the posts has reportedly frustrated other insiders.A Wall Street Journal analysis found the 79-year-old president has posted more than 8,800 times since January 2025 — including dozens of late-night bursts that spread conspiracy theories, personal attacks and fringe content to his 12.6 million followers.On a recent Monday, after a full day of Oval Office meetings and a Rose Garden dinner with law enforcement officers, Trump's account posted 55 messages between 10:14 p.m. and 1:12 a.m., the Journal found, and those posts falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen, aired calls for the arrest of former President Barack Obama and amplified frustrations that Democrats had not been indicted by the Justice Department.That night was not unusual. Since returning to office, according to the analysis, Trump's account has produced 44 similar late-night bursts of a dozen or more posts between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. The single most active day came on Dec. 1, when his account posted nearly 160 times in under four hours.Natalie Harp, Trump's executive assistant, plays a central role in the posting operation, the Journal reported. She presents Trump with printed stacks of draft posts — often content recycled from other social media accounts — for his approval, then logs on and publishes them in batches, sometimes outside normal working hours.White House officials confirmed to the report's authors that Trump personally approves all content, though he also posts some messages himself.The arrangement has drawn internal friction, according to the report. Harp – who other aides have dubbed the "human printer" for carrying around sheafs of material – typically does not share draft posts with the chief of staff's office, communications aides or national security officials, telling colleagues she answers only to Trump.The account drew bipartisan criticism earlier this year after Harp posted, at Trump's direction, a video containing racist imagery depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes and another AI-generated image depicting Trump as a Christ-like figure, both of which the president later deleted.Roughly one in 10 of the account's text-based posts refers to a person or group by a derogatory name, according to the newspaper, and the phrase "Fake News" has appeared nearly 140 times.
