Trump's 'Human Printer' Natalie Harp given bizarre new nickname after golf-cart chase
Natalie Harp, the assistant to Donald Trump who has been thrust into the spotlight, has been given a new nickname after new footage of her emerged.
Harp is a personal aide to Trump whose close relationship to Trump has been under scrutiny in recent weeks. The 35-year-old is in the president's close entourage, such that there are reported incidents of her delivering documents to Trump in areas reserved for the Trump family.
A very personal letter to Trump from Harp was also recently shared with the press, in which she described Trump as her 'Guardian' and 'Protector in this Life.'
Among Harp's many duties includes the round-the-clock task of carrying a portable printer with her, along with paper, ink, and batteries, which is reportedly used to personally deliver printouts of positive news stories and social media posts to Trump. This job in particular resulted in her being given the nickname 'The Human Printer' among staffers on Trump's campaign.

But now footage of Harp chasing after Trump's golf cart at his Turnberry resort in Scotland to keep up with him. At one point she even appeared to need to sprint up a hill in order to keep up with Trump's cart.
This has in turn led to the internet coming out with a slew of alternative nicknames for Harp, including a variation on 'The Human Printer' - 'The Human Sprinter'.
Taking to social media, one person wrote: "Where’s the human sprinter? Natalie insane bolt!".
Another posted: "The human sprinter printer - or is it printer sprinter?"
They are not along in creating nicknames, with New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman referring to Harp as 'the human binky', meaning a baby's pacifier, in a jab at her role in placating and soothing Trump.
Harp's relationship with Trump has also been seized upon by Trump's opponents, with Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Offoff making a barbed remark about Harp in a recent speech where he referenced Trump moving from Air Force One to a different plane.
"He doesn’t want to do the job,” said Ossoff. “He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.”
Harp appears to stepped back from appearing in public since the speech.
Her letter to Trump was reportedly leaked amid concern from Trump's inner circle about her relationship with the president.
The letter referred to an apparent mixup with golf carts, saying: "I am also sorry if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland. The first day I was told there were no carts, and people walked, which is why I walked.
"The second day, I was specifically asked by, I forget who his name was, but one of the main people who worked there, if I could continue walking."
Later on, the letter became more personal still, with Harp saying 'I want things to always be right between us' and 'I never want to bring you anything but joy'.
She added: "You are all that matters to me. I don't ever want to let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life."
Harp signed off the letter 'with all my heart'.
