Donald Trump's assistant turned heads as she boarded Air Force One, as fans mistook her for his daughter.
The president, 80, departed for New Jersey on Friday, July 31, making his way to his National Golf Club in Bedminster for the weekend. Accompanying him on the trip was his trusted aide Natalie Harp, with the 34-year-old sporting a look that drew immediate comparisons to Ivanka Trump.
Harp, who was recently cautioned about her close relationship with President Trump, stepped off Air Force One dressed in a maroon sleeveless dress adorned with white floral detailing. The high-necked outfit was paired with a deep red overnight bag.

Despite juggling the oversized bag, Harp also managed to hold onto two laptops and four cell phones. She flashed a smile to the cameras as she disembarked, showcasing a natural makeup look. Finishing off her look, Harp wore diamond stud earrings, which she highlighted by styling her hair in an elegant updo.

A photo of Harp was posted on X, where users were quick to note the striking resemblance between her and Ivanka Trump. "When Ivanka and Natalie Harp see each other," one user quipped, adding the viral meme featuring two Spider-Man characters pointing at one another.

A second X user suggested, "Natalie Harp looks like Laura Loomer cosplaying Ivanka," adding a crying laughing emoji. Someone else commented, "Clothing and hair just like Ivanka Trump. Now that's commitment to an obsession!"
Other social media users appeared genuinely worried about the president. Questioning the 80-year-old's state of mind, one X user asked, "Does he think it's Ivanka?"

Harp has made headlines in recent weeks following claims made by reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan in their book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.
According to Regime Change, Harp regularly leaves personal notes for the president in private locations for him to discover. In one message, she reportedly wrote, "You are all that matters to me."
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles was allegedly left stunned by the letters. According to the authors, her reaction was simply, "Where am I?" Trump is said to have responded with his own declaration of loyalty, reportedly telling others Harp, unlike his other aides, "will never leave me."

The authors also claimed Trump has turned to Harp to overrule Cabinet officials whenever he wants trade figures that better fit his own views.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back against the allegations, writing to The Mirror US, "Natalie Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump's team."
