The AI picture showing Donald Trump kissing his loyal aide Natalie Harp spread like wildwife on social media. Now, although the picture has been debunked, the president has shared a cryptic message on Truth Social.
Social media went wild as the picture, which appeared to show Donald Trump kissing his 35-year-old loyal aide Natalie Harp, began spreading.
The image quickly spread across social media, but the White House said it was false. Officials called the picture “clearly a fake photo.”
Trump also appeared to respond to the images circulating online during one of his usual Truth Social posting sprees. The president shared a picture of himself looking unhappy, with what appeared to be police officers standing in the background.
He captioned the post: “The Hoax Buster.” No further explanation was given, although the image also appeared to be AI-generated.
Safe to say that is not the first time. Donald Trump has shared several AI-generated images on his Truth Social account, including pictures showing him running for president again in 2028 and others portraying him as former presidents such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.
Journalist Michael Wolff recently claimed that a group of people outside the White House creates some of the unusual content on Trump’s social media.
Speaking on the podcast Inside Trump’s Head, Wolff claimed the Trump team had encouraged a group of people to create memes and other content for the president. However, he also claimed that those types of posts were “not done’ by the White House.
Trump’s cryptic message after AI picture of kissing Natalie Harp
“This is done by a kind of, squad of, you know, guys in their basement who the Trump team encouraged – sometimes gave financial resources to,” he said. “They just sit there, their job is to make Trump memes.”
But the White House has denied the claim. They told UNILAD in a comment, “TRUTH Social is the most powerful and popular social media platform in the world because it serves as President Trump’s authentic voice, where he communicates directly with the American people and the world without the biased media taking him out of context.”
The discussion comes as two AI images involving Trump and his aide, Natalie Harp, have spread online.
Two versions of the image are circulating. Deepfake expert Hany Farid told Snopes that the “higher-resolution image was AI-generated and was clearly derived from the lower-quality version.”

He added that the low-resolution version’s quality was “a bit of a red flag,” However, he said he could not determine whether the lower-resolution version was real or fake, calling its authenticity “inconclusive.”
Donald Trump and Natalie Harp’s relationship has been reported on for months. She is with him anywhere she goes, and whether their relationship was more than just colleagues has been debated. Not least after The Daily Beast revealed letters Harp had sent the president-
Biographer Michael Wolff made them public, offering a revealing glimpse into their relationship.
In the letters, the 35-year-old Trump aide Harp wrote she wanted a role where she could talk to Trump and look pretty. She also told the president, “you are all that matters to me.”
“We shouldn’t have to talk about work all the time”
Harp wrote that she missed the days when Trump would call her “and we’d talk about everything and nothing.”
She also pushed back against the idea that their relationship should remain strictly professional, writing: “We shouldn’t have to talk about work all the time.”
In another passage, Harp explained how she viewed her place around Trump.
“I’ve always felt like an in-betweener, somewhere between staff and those you enjoy talking to on the plane or at dinner because that’s who I used to be to you when I was a ‘Talkshow Host’ (as much as I hated that actual job!). I wish I could hear every conversation because that’s when you’re having a good time, getting away from it all, at least for a few moments,” Harp wrote in the letter, published by The Daily Beast.
