Donald Trump's White House fumed on Saturday after liberal journalist Aaron Rupar pointed out that the president's 30-something aide Natalie Harp followed him on his trip to Ireland this weekend.
Harp — whose devotion to Trump reportedly brought her a $45,000 "gift" for the holidays — tagged along while the president left first lady Melania Trump back home in the States, remarking his wife was there "in spirit" on Saturday.

Trump's relationship with his much-younger aide has made headlines in recent weeks, prompting Rupar to flag her presence in a post to X.
"Look who made the trip to Ireland! #TravelWithNatalie," wrote Rupar alongside a photograph of Harp.
Rupar's mention of Harp seemed to grind the administration's gears, sparking this response from the White House's rapid response page on X.
"President Trump does, in fact, travel with staff," read the post.
"Aaron, on the other hand, is a sick, deluded freak (in his 40s) who sits behind a keyboard and posts creepy things like this."

Rupar, who is known to frequently post clips of Trump and other key officials in his administration on X, responded to the White House's diss by joking that his taxpayer dollars were "hard at work."
"I know being in my 40s makes me too old for the president but I'm at peace with it," Rupar quipped.
