The controversy intensified after a user claimed that Harp had found the material online, printed it out for Trump to review and secured his approval before posting it.

“Creepy, yes. Even creepier when you consider that Natalie Harp found this on the internet, printed it out, showed it to him, he approved it for posting, then she posted it. And that’s what we are paying her to do all day,” the user wrote on X.

His post quickly drew reactions from other users, with several directing their criticism at Harp.

Another user questioned the public response to Trump's post, writing: “Does it benefit you to allow yourself to be seen in public reacting to Trump's clear attempt at trolling you to get a rise out of you? Ron?”

The reactions came as photographs of Harp alongside Trump also circulated online, adding another layer to the discussion surrounding the White House aide and the president's social media activity.

"Natalie Harp is thinking: This dress is my hint about him taking me to Prom. This color is called Cash and Carry. I don't care that I rode on the wing. Once I get him duct-taped, bringing him to my secluded cabin will be easy", one user posted on X.
