In reply to the discussion: Aide Natalie Harp in "unhealthy relationship" with Trump: [View all]Wiz Imp
(10,835 posts)14. She is definitely loony toons
From Wikipedia:
By 2017, Harp had become vocally critical of healthcare in the United States after she began suffering from health issues, particularly chronic pain and complications incurred by a medical error involving intravenous therapy for stage II bone cancer.[6] She praised president Donald Trump for signing into law a federal right-to-try law that she claimed allowed her to access experimental treatments, saving her life, on Fox News in 2019;[3] according to experts who spoke to The Washington Post, Harp's description of her treatment cast doubt on the veracity of her claim.[6]
Trump invited Harp to speak at the Republican National Convention in August 2020.[3] Her speech compared Trump to George Bailey, the protagonist of It's a Wonderful Life (1946),[7] leading to criticism from the family of the character's actor, Jimmy Stewart.[8] By August, she had become a member of the advisory board for Trump's 2020 presidential campaign.[9]

A reminder that Jimmy Stewart was a lifelong conservative Republican. Donald Trump is Mr. Potter in It's Wonderful Life. He's as far from George Bailey as one can get.
Harp is responsible for most of the unhinged posts on Trump's Truth Social. According to Wikipedia:
With Trump's approval, Harp was responsible for posting a video that included a racist depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes and for posting an AI-generated image of Trump as Jesus.
