The relationship between Donald Trump and his 35-year-old aide has sparked intense speculation over the last week. The speculation has been triggered by Democrat Senator Jon Ossoff, who attacked Trump over his relationship with Natalie Harp at a campaign event.

“He doesn’t want to do the job," Ossoff said referring to Trump. "He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie [Harp] on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.”

The internet was quick to catch on. Since then, multiple reports have emerged from anonymous sources alleging that Trump and Harp share an "unusually close" relationship. For instance, a New York Time recently documented how Harp leaves a "highly personal" notes to the president. One such note reportedly read, "you're all that matters to me." Journalist Michael Wolf reported that Trump and Harp's relationship is kind of "Christian devotional relationship." Trump's camp has denied the claims.
