As speculation surrounds the blonde woman Donald Trump has been seen with constantly, worries about the First Lady have been raised.
Melania Trump was last seen on July 19, almost one month ago, when she attended the FIFA World Cup Final with her husband.
After that, she skipped Senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral. She also didn’t greet the families of four killed US Service members, whose bodies were returned to the US in late July.
One analysis found that Melania has only appeared in public 38 times this year – roughly, one appearance every six days.
Meanwhile, Natalie Harp, Trump’s White House aide and seemingly closest ally as of late, has been with the President nonstop.
Harp formerly worked as an anchor on a far-right television show before joining Trump’s staff in 2022.
Her closeness to Trump has raised a few eyebrows, however, and caused concern from Harp’s own brother.
She was said to have left a personal note for the President in a ‘personal space’, reading: ‘You are all that matters to me.’
Harp’s brother, Parker, told the Daily Mail: ‘I don’t understand why my sister, or anyone, could want to work for Trump.’
Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff said of Trump and Harp: ‘He doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenceless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.’
The White House dubbed Senator Ossoff a ‘cuck’ after his remarks, but questions around Harp remain.
Last month, instead of Melania standing by her husband’s side while overseeing the transfer of the soldiers killed in the Middle East, Harp was there.
She’s also believed to be the one in charge of his bizarre Truth Social posts.
A White House spokesperson previously said of Harp: ‘No president has cultivated as much loyalty among their staffers and administration officials as President Trump; this is a testament to his commitment to our country and its people.
‘Natalie Harp is a beloved White House Official, and the Fake News Media will never understand what it’s like to be as trusted and admired as her.’
