I was enjoying your presentation until you got to the commercial. That ended it for me. I am not interested in getting commercials here in sub stack. Sorry I'm out here.

She’s an evangelical, so she’s batshit right out of the gate.

OMG She's a Barbie in real life and she feeds "HIS" ego constantly! She is so far up his but that no one else can get there and in some very weird ways she's creepy. When do you think he will get tired of her, maybe never maybe he will die before he gets rid of her but who knows?

Yes, good grief - she is in LOVE with him. That's what happens when you are in love and desperate to have every minute with the one you love. Not sleeping or eating - afraid he will reject her. More than a love sick school girl - and disgusting in many ways.

I mean — I really couldn't care less about Natalie Harp's stalking, obsessive psychoses. What really bothers me is the point you made regarding her security clearance-free access to Trump. She's a legit espionage and fifth column threat. From a national security perspective, no person like her should be allowed anywhere near any U.S. president without the highest security clearance in existence, and without supervision from others who are similarly vetted. Full stop.

That's the real scandal.

Also —

I realize that it's convenient to use Trump's incestuous, pedophile feelings which he's always had toward Ivanka as a basis to explain his… let's say his "physical" attraction to Natalie Harp… but the fact is that Harp bears little resemblance to Trump's daughter.

Yes, they're both blond, and slender, on the tall side, and about the same age — but Harp's eyes are much smaller, and her cheek bones rest much higher on her face. Harp's face is heart-shaped, while Ivanka's face is oval-shaped. And Natalie Harp has no lips.

It's a nice parallel to consider, in theory — I mean, never pass up a chance to impugn Trump (he deserves it) — and I appreciate the effort, but this one just doesn't hold water either, I'm afraid…

Sorry, Rick —

The Natalie Harp arranged for the demolition of the White House East Wing just to keep Melania away speculation just… doesn't hold water.

🙁

Since trump very likely suffers from CHF, it is highly unlikely the relationship with Harp is sexul...rather it is more of a codependency that can go south very quickly!

It must be said: Monica Lewinsky?

The recent letters published by The Daily Beast and The New York Times, which have not been independently verified, expose a dynamic between White House aide Natalie Harp and Donald Trump that crosses the line from standard political loyalty into a creepy form of secular idolatry. If these documents are authentic, calling Trump her "guardian" and "protector," and declaring that he is "all that matters" to her, reads like the total surrender of self to a living idol.

Gushing about "forgetting to eat" and "forgetting to sleep," because she was distracted by his presence, is deeply unsettling and smacks of the cult-like devotion of a love-struck teenager. The notes, signed "With all my heart" in thick Sharpie, evoke the image of an infatuated high schooler rather than a West Wing official. 

Apologizing profusely for "being an embarrassment"  is jarringly submissive and moves past mere infatuation into something darker—the fatal attraction archetype.

Thanks for the Trudle Junge mention - I’d not been aware of her & now I know something new (love Google!).

My theory on the relationship between NH & 47 is that it’s a weird Oedipal situation - you referenced that she’s like his binky. I believe that she is the mother he never had -adoration & approval & then there is the similarity between NH & Ivanka… Their relationship is definitely codependent. I would not be surprised if she dies at her own hands upon his death.

Great Elephant in the Room, Rick. Been busy at parents’ home, yard work, housework and helping them out while he is still convalescing. He had a bad night last night but was more panicked by abdominal pain which was flatulence. They were ready to call 911, but I thought if he calmed down he would relax his system. He had an herbal tea, expelled gas and we went back to bed. This morning he felt better. It’s tough seeing them this worried and they cannot watch the news at all. They read their Huffington Post news and more but it’s a bad time watching the dragging down of our government by trump and company

Rick - Appreciate your take on this weirdness and possible security risk. But it's your message to us at the very end that I found most important: check your voter registration status, when you can, vote early or by mail, and volunteer for candidates that will fight for our democracy. As you said, we can't sit on the sidelines. Thank you.
