Senator Jon Ossoff, a 2028 presidential contender, sparked a week-long controversy by publicly criticizing President Trump's aide Natalie Harp during an Atlanta rally. Ossoff accused Harp of enabling Trump's delusions and criticized Trump for prioritizing personal luxuries like a White House ballroom and a Qatari-gifted jet over military personnel. The White House reacted strongly, with Trump calling Ossoff a 'Pee-Wee Herman lookalike' and communications director Steven Cheung using vulgar insults. Since then, media reports have revealed new details about Harp's unusually close relationship with Trump, including her insistence on riding in the trunk of his SUV and writing obsessive letters. Ossoff has capitalized on the controversy, stating he is pleased to see the administration rattled. The article also notes that Trump staffers have anonymously described Harp as a 'human printer' and the source of Trump's erratic social media habits.
