WASHINGTON, DC: To help his campaign with a very special request, reports state that Donald Trump has added a new member to his communications team. The Washington Post reports that Natalie Harp's job is to go with Donald Trump to events, including golf outings, 'equipped with a laptop and sometimes a printer to show him uplifting news articles, online posts, or other materials.'

Notably, numerous court observers have noticed that Donald Trump looks through dozens of printed-out articles during his criminal trial in New York City, which he evaluates and redacts as the case progresses.

Retracted to prevent negative publicity, several of these items eventually surfaced on Donald Trump's Truth Social account. Notably, Harp receives $4,375 bimonthly, or $8,750 monthly. Compared to some of Trump's other advisers, including Jason Miller, who receives $15,000 twice a month, this sum is insignificant.



 

Notably, three months ago, MeidasTouch started keeping an eye on the items that Trump posted on Truth Social when they noticed some abnormalities. They discovered that at least 25 articles had whole paragraphs or phrases blacked out and cleaned.

Judge Juan Merchan scheduled Trump's criminal trial to begin on April 15, which would make it the first criminal prosecution of a former American president. Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records last year, which prosecutors say was an effort to hide a potential sex scandal, both before and after the 2016 election.

When they investigated the areas that had been redacted, MeidasTouch found that these parts contained things that didn't sit well with Trump. The censored passages occasionally had just mild complaints, but Trump won't let anything except adoration get through to his followers.

According to MeidasTouch, Trump has used donor funds to pay Melania's fashion consultant over $368,000, his attorneys over $50 million, and his private plane over hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As the Biden Campaign sets up hundreds of field offices and reserves prime TV time slots for ads months in advance, Trump is spending the hard-earned money of his contributors on advisers, attorneys, hair stylists, fashion consultants, and a private plane.

Donald Trump ripped for paying $105K to staffer

Many people on the internet trolled former President Donald Trump as he pays $4,375 bimonthly, or $8,750 monthly to Natalie Harp to 'show him uplifting news articles'.

A user wrote on X, "Donald Trump can read a few of those aloud in court, when he gets to speak, before they sentence him!" while one added, "Damn foolish Narcissist! Trump is such a needy person for attention all the time!"



 



 

A person also wrote, "Mr insecure tough guy needs some articles printed out that make him feel better before he gets convicted" whereas one mentioned, "At least it's keeping him busy. You have to know how to deal with toddlers."



 



 

A person added, "Sure it’s not just a colouring book to keep him occupied" while one stated, "Would love to know which articles he's 'redacted' for his 'publication'. Why am I not surprised by this!"
