The fully exposed letters of President Donald Trump's aide Natalie Harp are drawing unease about how she writes him.
On Friday, online critics reacted to Harp's letters that were released the previous evening by Trump biographer Michael Wolff and The Daily Beast, which produces his podcast Inside Trump's Head. Harp has been in the spotlight lately after Sen. Jon Ossoff called the president out for preferring to "travel with Natalie Harp" rather than do his job, which drew scrutiny to her relationship with Trump.
"You are all that matters to me," one line, highlighted in a post by HuffPost editor Philip Lewis, read. "I don't want to ever let you down. Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life."
Ron Filipkowski, the editor-in-chief of the political news network MeidasTouch, pointed out that she randomly capitalizes words the way Trump does and related it to how she reportedly drafts Trump's Truth Social posts.
"The syntax and random capitalizations in Natalie Harp's letters to Trump are a Rosetta Stone that can be used to determine which he wrote and which are her writing him," Filipkowski posted on X.
"Y'all, this woman isn't well," wrote former GOP strategist Rick Wilson.
"Lots to unpack in this Natalie Harp letter," ex-Trump White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews reacted. "But this line in particular stood out to me: 'I was approaching burnout, and starting to envy those whose only 'job' seems to be to talk with you, and look pretty.' Lol."
"This is some freaky stuff," Democratic political commentator Harry Sisson warned. "Anyone with a brain can see that."
Podcaster and political extremism researcher Jared Holt described Harp's letter as "ten times scarier than a death threat. If anyone ever sent me something like this I would seek a restraining order as soon as humanly possible and be legitimately scared for my safety."
"Please tell me this isn't real," CNN contributor Ana Navarro-Cárdenas pleaded on X.
Progressive political commentator Molly Jong-Fast joked, "There's no chance that Donald Trump made it to the end of this letter."
