MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: Stephen Colbert aimed the Donald Trump aide making headlines as the “human printer” during his monologue on the night of May 23 on 'The Late Show'.

He began by noting that the campaign had removed a video with a headline about a “unified Reich” under Trump, which they claimed was posted by a junior staffer.



 

Recently, The New York Times reported this week that Natalie Harp is responsible for both managing Trump’s Truth Social social media account and providing him with printouts of “mood-boosting news” that he is often seen reading.

Stephen Colbert playfully contrasts leadership style with Trump's need for constant validation

Considering the news, the host highlighted that Harp carries a portable printer to produce hard copies of articles for Trump quickly.

Colbert joked, “When she needs his attention, she prints those positive news [stories] right on a slice of bologna,” mimicking Trump reading, sniffing, and licking the news.

He continued with a series of meat-related jokes, including hot dog references, to the delight of the audience.

Colbert humorously remarked on the situation where an individual's entire job revolves around printing compliments for their boss, expressing disdain for such a practice.

He emphasized, "Thankfully I’m the kind of secure, confident boss who does not need that — at least that’s what they’re saying in all my printouts,” contrasting himself with the need for constant validation exhibited by others.

“Come on, look sharp, look sharp Maya. Daddy needs his happy page,” Colbert said, adding, “Ah yes, another piece of great news about me. 'Stephen Colbert is pre-approved for the Amtrak Guest Rewards Preferred Mastercard.’”

He then playfully interacted with his staffer, Maya, who brought him a printed sheet of news, highlighting a humorous piece about himself being pre-approved for a credit card.

Natalie Harp's role in Trump's hush money trial has garnered significant attention, with media personalities like MSNBC's Chris Hayes commenting on Trump's reliance on printed materials to stay engaged during the trial.

Reportedly, Hayes likened Trump's behavior to that of a child entertained with an iPad at a restaurant, emphasizing the need for constant stimulation during less engaging parts of the proceedings.

Social media users mock Donald Trump for finding 'scapegoat' 

The online community was quick to react to Trump's 'human printer' revelation. 

One viewer shared, "Harp's full-time job is to feed the former president a diet of disinformation, fascist propaganda, and lies.."

In a similar vein, another observer chimed in, "Not buying it for a second. You're telling me the person whose sole job it is to print Fox opinion columns has control of Trump's Twitter account. Come on now.."

Moreover, a viewer highlighted, "Scapegoat you mean.."

Adding to the conversation, a follower contributed, "Oh. You mean they found someone willing to be a scapegoat."

A comment emphasized, "It's always somebody else, not Donald."

Echoing this sentiment, another comment noted, "Of course, they can throw the woman under the bus."
