President Donald Trump's White House aide, Natalie Harp, might have some competition from a new blonde on the block, who appeared to be Trump's latest watchdog.
In a news clip that went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday, September 13, an unnamed blonde woman was captured blocking the press from questioning Trump, 80, during his visit to Ireland this weekend. The woman kept saying "thank you, press" as she continuously moved in their way, preventing them from getting closer to the POTUS.
On social media, specifically X, several commented on the situation with one joking, "another blonde Trump flunkie starts literally shoving photographers away from Trump." This came after Trump previously jumped to Natalie's defense and lashed out at a reporter.

A second joked, "20 something blond women babysit him all day," while one other remarked, "They don’t want anyone over hearing what’s being said. I’m sure it has nothing to do with trumps personal business dealings."
Someone else shared, "Natalie 2.0." While Natalie was with Trump in Ireland, Trump's own wife, Melania, 56, wasn't in attendance, fueling much speculation online.
When Trump arrived to Ireland on Saturday, September 12, he spoke at Deerfield, which is the official residence of the US ambassador to Ireland, joking that Melania was with him "in spirit."

Many thought the woman resembled Natalie Harp
He revealed that Melania wasn't there because she couldn't manage the seven-hour journey to Ireland, despite being "very friendly with these two people."
Since he's been Ireland, Trump has had meetings with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin and Irish President Catherine Connolly.
Also, he's connected with US ambassador Edward Walsh and his wife, Lynn Walsh. However, it's unclear about who the "two people" he referenced were.
The first lady has skipped a few of Trump's notable events within recent months, including the controversial Republican midterms convention in Dallas, Texas, last week.
Trump said in an address to US Embassy staff and business Saturday morning, "My wife is here," before pausing momentarily and clarifying, "My wife is here in spirit," noting, "She's watching right now. She said: 'Say hello' because she's very friendly with these two people.

He continued, "I said: 'Well why don't you come with me.' She said: 'Well, it's a seven-hour trip. Maybe I'm not that friendly.'"
Trump's comment earned him some laughs, but once the clip of his remark's were shared on social media, some individuals speculated that Trump's assistant may have had input on his speech.
One person posted on X, "HOLY SMOKES: Trump had to correct himself about Melania being there with him. Did Natalie Harp write this speech."
Another commented, "That's not true 'Nat'. Has to be somewhere close with that creepy smile on her face."
