Donald Trump's executive assistant, Natalie Harp, has been given a bizarre new nickname after being previously labeled his 'human printer'.
Harp was one of three aides who recently joined the president aboard a catering truck to shield him from an Iranian threat to launch a missile at Air Force One.
The 35-year-old has worked with Trump for around six years, but her role has changed over time.
Once branded his 'human printer', after regularly providing the president with large-format printouts of news articles and social media posts, sometimes of his own, Harp appears to have taken on a new moniker.

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman revealed it to be 'binkie'.
Speaking with MSNOW Sunday, she explained: "Because she is sort of his comfort blanket, for lack of a better way of putting it."
In recent years, Harp has taken on an entirely new role altogether, authoring the Truth Social posts he often dictates.

While many assume the president writes his own posts, it appears Harp may actually be the person typing them up more often than not.
A clip from the Apple TV documentary The Art of the Surge shows the assistant typing up Trump's thoughts as he watched Kamala Harris’ 2024 convention speech, among his top aides.
Harp reportedly sits outside the Oval Office during her working days, and is in charge of managing Trump's social media posting when he's not on it himself.
During a rally in Atlanta on Sunday, Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff appeared to hit out at Trump and Harp, saying: "He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar."
When pressed on his scathing remarks the following day, Ossoff told The Briefing with Jen Psaki: "Well, I’ve heard this particular aide referred to as a ‘security blanket,’ and I think we could say that about any number of the senior aides in the White House."

He went on to claim that 'they're not telling him what he needs to hear, they’re telling him what he wants to hear'.
"The nation is at war and we can’t afford that," Ossoff added. "We need a team in the White House, we need folks at the State Department, at the Defense Department, in the United States Congress who take their jobs seriously."
White House communications director Steven Cheung was quick to hit back at Ossoff's comments, writing on X: "Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he's a miserable person who hates this country.
"It's because he's a radical, extremist Dumocrat."
White House spokesman Davis Ingle echoed this in a statement to The Washington Post, calling Harp 'one of the most loyal and hardest working aides on President Trump’s team' and dubbing Ossoff’s rhetoric 'cringeworthy'.
Who else joined Trump in the catering truck?

Harp wasn't the only top aide who joined Trump in the secret plane switch situation.
Walt Nauta and Dan Scavino were the two others selected, reportedly due to their long-standing loyalty to the president.
Scavino’s employment dates all the way back to his days as a teenage golf caddy at one of Trump’s golf clubs, and Nauta was Trump’s military aide during his first term in office.
And many users online questioned whether Karoline Leavitt’s resignation was linked to her being left on the allegedly targeted plane.
"Karoline Leavitt announced her resignation 24 hours after she found out that Trump left her for dead on a plane he thought could be shot out of the sky," one theorized.
Another user added: "I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Karoline Leavitt resigned as White House press secretary after being an unwitting decoy on Air Force One."
And a third wrote: "I guess Karoline wasn’t a fan of being left to die on the old AF1 while Trump was scuttled to another plane via catering truck."
Despite the conspiracy, Leavitt announced that she was leaving her role as White House press secretary to focus on being a mom to her two young children.
