Natalie Harp, Donald Trump’s personal assistant, has once again sparked comparisons to Ivanka Trump over changes to her appearance. In recent months, Harp has been accompanying the president on most of his trips and public appearances

Several social media users have commented on her apparent devotion to Trump and her frequent presence beside him. Some have even claimed that Harp deliberately changed her appearance to resemble Trump’s daughter.

Natalie Harp Sparks Criticism Over Ivanka Trump Comparisons

Natalie Harp has emerged as one of the most recognizable figures in the Trump administration because of her close proximity to Donald Trump. The personal aide has earned a reputation for frequently accompanying him on his work trips and even his golfing outings, earning nicknames such as his human “binkie” and ‘diaper nurse.’

But after she was chosen to accompany Trump during his secret plane swap in Turkey in July 2026, users have started to connect the dots. Social media users started to post pictures of the personal assistant and Ivanka Trump on X, claiming to show changes in Harp’s appearance that make her look like his daughter.

Recently, Spencer Hakimian, founder of Tolou Capital Management, shared a picture of Harp, highlighting changes in her appearance since 2019 that he claimed made her resemble the 44-year-old. Before, she had strawberry-blonde hair, but now she has bright blonde locks that look strikingly similar to the former advisor.

The post also resurfaced a 2006 clip of the commander in chief on The View, in which he made a comment about dating Ivanka Trump if she were not his daughter.

He said, “I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.” One of the hosts called his comments “weird,” as the 44-year-old appeared to blush, to which he asked, “Is that terrible?” Social media users seized on the comparison, speculating that she was cosplaying as Ivanka Trump to grow closer to him, and even suggested that the resemblance was intended to make him believe she would never leave him.

Spencer Hakimian’s post sparked a heated debate on social media, with some of Donald Trump’s critics agreeing with his comparison. Some claimed that Trump had made Harp dress like his daughter because he could not have Ivanka for himself.

A user tweeted, “I can’t unsee it. Maybe that’s why Arkansas and Alabama ‘relate’ to Trump.” Another user commented, “I was thinking the same creepy thing. Daddy really loves Ivanka.” A user acknowledged, “I noticed that too. Very creepy”

A user said, “Trump was 44 years old when Natalie was born. It shows his true colors.” Another user reminded, “Reminder that Trump said if Ivanka weren’t his daughter, he’d be dating her.” Another user remarked, “Now all she has to do is be 20 years younger, and she is set for life.”
