President Donald Trump’s "human printer," Natalie Harp, earned an embarrassing new nickname after frantic footage emerged of her chasing the president's golf cart.
The 32-year-old aide was spotted sprinting uphill in a desperate bid to keep pace with Trump’s motorized buggy at his Turnberry resort in Scotland. The frantic chase has led political insiders and critics to mockingly brand her Trump's "human binky" — a nod to her role as a constant source of comfort for the 2024 Republican nominee.
The newly emerged footage from May 2023 captures the moment Trump abruptly drives away from a golf course halfway house. Harp was forced to break into a full-speed run up a steep incline to catch up with the accelerating cart. The clip hit social media and the term "human sprinter" began to join the ranks of "human binky" and "human printer."

The video quickly went viral online, drawing intense mockery from critics who compared the display to a dog chasing its owner and X users dubbing her the "human sprinter."
"Where’s the human sprinter? Natalie insane bolt!" a user wrote.
"The human sprinter printer - or is it printer sprinter?" another added.
"First the human printer & now of course the human sprinter all in the name of undying service to her dear master," a third commented.

The name came from her round-the-clock duty of carrying a portable printer, spare paper, and batteries to hand-deliver physical copies of positive news articles and reassuring social media posts to Trump.
However, top journalists and political commentators have now evolved the moniker to reflect her emotional support role.
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman popularized the term "human binky," describing Harp's primary function as providing a constant, soothing presence to manage the former president's mood.
Harp first entered Trump's orbit after praising his "Right to Try" medical legislation during a 2019 Fox News appearance, credits the policy with saving her life during a battle with bone cancer.
She later became a host on the pro-Trump network One America News (OAN) before joining his inner circle full-time.
Harp has noticeably dropped out of public sight following a viral political speech by Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff.
Sen Ossoff delivered a speech accusing Donald Trump of neglecting his duties, claiming the president prefers to "travel with Natalie" rather than govern. The comment immediately went viral and sparked a massive political firestorm
Despite the internet mockery, insiders report that Harp remains one of Trump's most trusted and fiercely loyal gatekeepers.
It seems like she is a high performer, coupled with being an obliger, and it’s being used against her.
