Natalie Harp’s Brother Explains Her Infatuation with Trump

August 19, 2026 at 8:10 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Preston Harp, the brother of President Donald Trump’s close aide Natalie Harp, issued a message to his sister on CNN while denying a ‘physical attraction’ toward the president,” Mediaite reports.

Said Preston Harp about his sister: “Well, my mom raised us with the idea that American exceptionalism was the correct way of looking at things, that the United States is the boss of the world, that, like, you know, slavery was — back then, that was normal, people weren’t bad because they had slaves.”

He added: “And honestly, and it’s like Trump wants to take all those books out of schools. He wants to rewrite history. And so like I think that my sister, unfortunately, didn’t break out of that delusion that my mom raised us with, and Trump is like everything that my Mom taught us to respect. So I think that’s where her infatuation for Trump comes from, honestly, because I don’t think it’s a physical attraction. Let’s get real, you know, like, personally, I don’t think so.”
