"His executive assistant Natalie Harp is the driving force behind some of his most incendiary content, including a racist video that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, and an AI-generated image of Trump as Jesus Christ, both of which Trump later took down.

Harp, who is in her mid-30s, brings the president stacks of printed-out drafts of social media posts"many of them recycling content from other accounts"for Trump to approve, sources told the Journal."

That vid is scary funny, especially towards the end.

She's definitely the Cult Leader's side piece... well, only piece more like.

Besides Satan, of course! (South Park reference)

"racist video that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes"

If portraying Black President Obama as an Ape is racist, then why wasn't racist when White President W. was portrayed as a chimp?

Republicans have run out of rational excuses for DJT... they don't have a Party anymore; those that still follow him are in a Cult.

A Death Cult for America.

I don't see them making excuses at any level.

They just want to win, so they can avoid the need to explain altogether.

I wish I could disagree.

But, based upon the actions (or lack of action) of the Republicans, I cannot disagree.

Whatever this young woman is doing with Trump at midnight, I hope he's paying well.

Did you see those side by sides?

They looked identical.

It was hilarious.

And adorable.

According to ballotpedia.org that would be $150,000 a year. Not bad for a Point Loma Nazarene University and Liberty University grad. Praise MAGAJeebus!

They don't need to report to you. You are just the Hoi Polloi.

The People will do what they are told. And they will like it. I believe it's clearly stated in Article 2. The President gets to whatever he wants (there will NO "she"). And he does not need any permission or support from the people.

The Chinese people are being told more by their leaders than we are by ours. We found out what was talked about during the summit by asking the Chinese.

An analysis by the Journal found that Trump has posted a staggering 8,800 times since returning to office.

Earlier this month, the Daily Beast found that given the president's volume of Truth Social posts published between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., there were only five days in April when Trump could have gotten a full night's sleep.

I've been in publishing for about 50 years.

I don't know what "millennial em dash" means, nor do I care to find out.

Em dashes, like cockroaches, will outlast millennials.
