Former RNC official claims Trump's aide has taken control of the West Wing

Former RNC spokesperson Cheri Jacobus claimed President Donald Trump is "too mentally feeble" to hold office and executive assistant Natalie Harp has effectively taken control of the West Wing.

Speaking on her YouTube show, Jacobus said, "Natalie Harp. She's a 34-year-old executive assistant to Trump, and she has unnerved her colleagues by leaving out letters for Trump that say things like, 'You are all that matters to me.'" Reports of these letters appear in Regime Change, a new book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

Harp has been Trump's aide since 2022 and became his executive assistant in January 2025.

The Wall Street Journal reported Harp compiles content for Trump's approval and logs into his account herself, often late at night, to post it.

"What's bizarre and disturbing is that he is so vulnerable to this sort of undue influence. This is somebody who should not be in office — he is too old and too mentally feeble," Jacobus observed.

"So it looks like this crazy, stalker-ish person, this Natalie Harp, is the one who makes the decisions in this White House. Think about that. It's frightening," Jacobus concluded.
