Foreign. I have some piping hot tea on convicted felon Donald Trump. And you guys, Pumps loves political gossip. And so I dedicate this episode to you. And this is an article that's coming out of the Daily Beast, and I want to give credit to the journalist Dan Ladenhall, and the headline of it is, Secret Service Freaked out by Trump's Adoring Female Aide. All right, so this is a book that's about to come out from Michael Wolf. I'm going to give you all some background, and then we're going to get Pump's take on it. Okay, the first that I want to read, Kylie. The Secret Service has become concerned about a devoted female Trump aide to the point where they considered her a, quote, potential danger to herself as well as to the President, according to a report. Next. The New York Times reported in November that Harp and this gal used to work for Oann, who was referred to by colleagues as the, quote, human printer because she followed Trump around with a portable printer to give him printouts of information to spare him for looking at screens, penned adoring letters to Trump in 2023 that unnerved people in. In his orbit. And just a little, everybody remembers that Trump, when he had his felony trial, he had somebody that printed out things that he could look at, a picture book of favorable media about himself because they have to limit his screen time. And when I say this, we're talking about the man 77 million Americans elected to be President of the United States, and he has to have his screen time monitored. Okay, next clip. She allegedly wrote to Trump, you are all that matters to me. I don't ever want to let you down, and I want to bring you joy. She wrote this to him. Okay, next up. According to Wolf, Harp's fixation was an open secret among Trump's staff, who found it dis discomforting and the alleged aggressiveness of her attention. The Secret Service, with her letters in their possessions, was now noting the strangeness of her behavior. Nonsense, declared Trump. She just loves her president. According to Wolf's account, Trump had an avuncular and flirtatious relationship with the attractive women who worked for him, whom the President referred to as Charlie's Angels. Wolf writes that Harp was in the entourage, along with his lawyers Alina Haba and Lindsey Halligan, who joined Trump at the NCAA Wrestling Championship in Oklahoma in 2023. Trump's subject of discourse at the NCAA event was which wrestlers the ladies found most attractive. Everyone seemed happy to play along, critiquing the various bodies, rating them as their Type or not. But Natalie couldn't be moved. Trump reportedly pressed her on the matter, trying to make her obvious point even more obvious to everyone listening in. With the disbelief and embarrassment of which Wolf claims that she only had eyes for Trump. Wolf claims that as Harp alleged, quote, obsession with Trump and her love struck adulation became increasingly obvious, she also became increasingly integral to his operation operations. She contacted lawmakers on his behalf and became the keeper of the true social phone, who she was wholly in charge of the Trump posts online. In November, the senior staff of the Trump campaign released a statement saying they'd refuse to respond to Wolf's inquiries, encouraging others to completely disregard whatever nonsense he eventually publishes. So in summation pumps, Trump has this sycophant of all sycophants in his entourage, which that's no surprise. She's the one that makes these picture books for him to look at. She's probably the one that fed him recently. Oh, I found a poll that your approval rating 71% listeners in the low 40s and plummeting as we speak. My prediction is by next week. He's in the 30s, there's no question about it, because the economy's tanking. But she couldn't even participate in sandwich wrestler she thought was hot. And we'll get into the psychology behind Trump's wanting them to do that and him wanting to hear about other men and their bodies being hot, which is totally something we need to analyze. But Pumps, what do you make of all this?
Host 2
Well, I mean, the first thing that strike just jumps off the page at me is daddy issues, obviously. I mean, that goes without saying. But you know, he surrounds himself with these people like the Laura Loomer of it all that just fall madly in love with them. This gal, it sounds kind of like she's on the verge of stalker, like if the Secret Service is worried, if the senior aides are saying ignore, like, it is no surprise to me that he has sycophants following him around. It is no surprise to me that they tell him exactly what he wants to hear. What is a surprise to me is that his leadership team is saying ignore him, because I would think that would blow back on them. But I think he always has to have somebody. I mean, he's such a narcissist. He's so profoundly insecure. Insecure. She is younger, she is attractive, she is in love with him. And it sounds like if there was a breakup, a Laura Loomer style where she just got discarded, I mean, we might have bunny boiling Fatal attraction. And I Just want you to know I'm here for it.
Host 1
There was also a little tidbit in this article that, and I'm paraphrasing here, that when he went to Bedminster for the summer, they were trying to distance her, but she found her way right up into the guest house and right into the epicenter of all of. And I just think it's really breathtaking that we're sitting here talking about a president of the United States who has to have a person. You know, you have to have security, you have to have aids, you have to have advisors. He has a person that has to travel around with him to make him picture books with a printer of positive news about himself so that they can keep him reined in. And here's something else of note. You know, you and I always thought that, like, the truth social posts, why doesn't somebody take his phone, right? Why doesn't somebody get that away from him? The fact that somebody else is writing those and that nobody is talking anybody off the ledge and they're still going out with all of the horrible mis punctuations, bad English misspellings, unhinged rants. There's collusion in those, there's cooperation in those. This is not a person in solitary confinement in a phone making these crazy statements. There, there is a team.
Host 2
There's. It's not just him doing all the misspellings and the crazy shouting and the all caps like he's telling her, and she's all in. I, I don't understand why someone that is the president of the United States runs around with an interpreter for English, with his little executive order person that explains all the executive orders, because Trump has no idea. He's got to have all this favorable stress fed to him because he's so insecure and he sits on true social and makes an ass of himself. Like every single day he does something that you're just like, that man is not. Well, he spelled. And now he's got his little buddy, she's helping him. They're doing it together.
Host 1
Here's something we have to bear in mind. There is an appetite on the Internet, as all of the people listening here are have an appetite for counter programming, for facts, for truth, and for a little side of tea every now and then to keep themselves from, you know, falling off the deep end with all of this Trump stuff, right? But there is an appetite for Trump's craziness, the cruelty Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene and pro Putin propaganda to the tune of tens of millions of people. And they have been so wildly indulged, indoctrinated, and they think that this guy is the Messiah. I mean, it's like, I think that these people, it's like Jesus and Trump, those are my homeboys. That's who I love. I love Jesus Christ and Donald Trump. And they like all this stuff. And that's something we have to remember as this moves forward. There is a huge portion of this country that likes this. And there's a reason why he wants to tear down the Department of Education. It's because he knows, and he brags about polling very well with the poorly educated. He says it out loud. We do great with the poorly educated. We love the poorly educated. Polling shows that the less educated you are, the more tendency you have to vote for Donald Trump. Now, I want to create a caveat here. I know that there are a lot of people that their families couldn't afford to go to college and are wildly intelligent. I know that to be true. But the reason they want to dismantle the Department of Education is because they want to breed more people in this cult. And this woman, I can understand why the Secret Service has a 911 because I agree with you. This is bunny boiler situation.
Host 2
Right? This just doesn't sound like a normal. Like Alina Haba is his sycophant and she runs her mouth for him, but she doesn't strike. I mean, she's crazy, but she doesn't strike me as like full blown bunny boiler. This woman, like, that's a bunny boiler type sitch.
Host 1
Well, and Alina Habo wants to be a star in her own right, right. You know, she comes out to his rallies and to rap music and she tries to pump up the crowd like she is thirsty. She's a thirst trap person. The quiet ones like this that are, you know, I can understand why the Secret Service is like, we have a bunny boiler situation on our hands. This gal, they know, the Secret Service knows. Why is this young, attractive blonde writing him these freaky love letters? That's nuts. She's clearly unhinged. I mean, they know that even if they like him, they know. They know deep down that the math on that doesn't work out.
Host 2
Right? And, you know, it's so interesting because Donald Trump never has a shortage of sycophants that fall him. He'll throw him under the bus, he'll get a new one. You know, this will. It'll be interesting to see where this goes in the future.
Host 1
I don't think it's going to go anywhere. I just thought it was some good team.
Host 2
They break up. If she if Susie Wiles. Because you know she's keeping the clown car.
Host 1
She'd keep. Susie Wiles has failed miserably.
Host 2
Failed.
Host 1
Because when you're, when your boss is the clown.
Host 2
Right.
Host 1
I think that was a declarative statement destined for failure. That she was going to keep the clown car. She has no control. She had Elon Musk in there with his toddler wiping boogers on the Resolute desk, which I read this morning. The Resolute desk has been picked up from the Oval Office and taken to.
Host 2
Be refinished because Trump's a germaphobe.
Host 1
Yes. So anyway, that's a little. I know that there's a lot more nefarious, horrible things going on, but our dear pumps, the star of our show, loves, love some MAGA gossip. And so this episode was for you so that we could smile and laugh a little bit and analyze something outside of all that's going on.

In this episode of IHIP News, hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan delve into a gripping and controversial story surrounding former President Donald Trump and his alleged obsessive female aide. Combining political analysis with their signature comedic flair, the hosts unpack the implications of this revelation on Trump's entourage and the broader political landscape.
Jennifer Welch kicks off the episode by introducing a hot-off-the-press article from the Daily Beast authored by journalist Dan Ladenhall. The article, titled "Secret Service Freaked out by Trump's Adoring Female Aide," serves as the focal point for the episode's discussion.
[00:00] Jennifer: "I have some piping hot tea on convicted felon Donald Trump. And you guys, Pumps loves political gossip. And so I dedicate this episode to you."
The article discusses the unsettling behavior of a devoted female aide to Donald Trump, which has raised alarms within the Secret Service and Trump's senior staff. Key points from the article include:
Obsessive Behavior: The aide, described as young and attractive, has shown an alarming level of adoration for Trump, leading the Secret Service to consider her a "potential danger" to both herself and the President.
Professional Background: Previously employed by Oann (a likely reference to OANN, the One America News Network), she was known as the "human printer" for her role in providing Trump with printouts to limit his screen time.
Inappropriate Communication: She allegedly penned letters expressing extreme devotion, such as, "You are all that matters to me. I don't ever want to let you down, and I want to bring you joy."
Integration into Trump's Operations: Despite her concerning behavior, she became integral to Trump's operations, managing his social media posts and contacting lawmakers on his behalf.
[00:45] Jennifer: "The Secret Service has become concerned about a devoted female Trump aide to the point where they considered her a, quote, potential danger to herself as well as to the President."
Angie “Pumps” Sullivan offers her insights, suggesting that the aide's behavior indicates deeper psychological issues, potentially stemming from "daddy issues." She likens the situation to a "bunny boiler," referencing obsessive and potentially dangerous fixation.

The hosts dissect Trump's leadership style, highlighting his tendency to surround himself with sycophants who uncritically support him. They discuss his need for validation and control, as evidenced by his management of social media and reliance on aides to filter information.
[07:36] Angie: "Donald Trump never has a shortage of sycophants that fall under him. He'll throw him under the bus, he'll get a new one."
Jennifer points out the irony in Trump's use of a team to manage his "Truth Social" posts, which are often criticized for misspellings and aggressive rhetoric. She suggests that this delegation highlights Trump's insecurity and dependency on others to maintain his public image.
[06:14] Jennifer: "The fact that somebody else is writing those and that nobody is talking anybody off the ledge and they're still going out with all of the horrible mis punctuations, bad English misspellings..."
The hosts touch upon Trump's declining approval ratings, attributing the downturn to economic issues. They forecast a continued drop in support, particularly in states with unfavorable economic conditions.
[04:35] Jennifer: "My prediction is by next week. He's in the 30s, there's no question about it, because the economy's tanking."
Jennifer emphasizes the persistent strong support for Trump among certain demographics, particularly the "poorly educated," drawing parallels between Trump's appeal and religious fervor.
[08:21] Jennifer: "There is an appetite for Trump's craziness…the less educated you are, the more tendency you have to vote for Donald Trump."
The conversation speculates on the future dynamics within Trump’s team, especially concerning the possibility of breakdowns in relationships with aides like the obsessed female aide. They ponder the sustainability of such sycophantic relationships and the potential for internal conflict.
[10:10] Angie: "This woman, like, that's a bunny boiler type sitch."
[11:19] Jennifer: "I don't think it's going to go anywhere. I just thought it was some good team."
