What sparked the viral rumor?
The claim comes after several X users suggested that Harp’s bag contained the 80-year-old president’s diapers.
Gracelynn on X shared a picture of Harp with a white puffy object in her purse, claim”, “Donald Trump’s aide, also known as a nurse, carries around a diaper bag full of diapers. They don’t even try to hide it anymore. “
A post that was widely shared read“This is Donald Trump’s aide Natalie Harp. She has his diapers in her bag.”
Another claimed Harp was Trump’s “diaper nurse” and questioned why the so-called “diaper bag” appeared next to a nuclear football. The user wrote: “Wow. She really is Trump’s diaper nurse. But why is her diaper bag tied to a nuclear football?”
Another post suggested that Happ frequently appears at presidential events, fueling speculation about her role.
No evidence to support claims of “official diaper nurse”
Available evidence does not support claims that Harp served as Trump’s “official diaper nurse” or carried diapers for him.
Grok’s generated excerpt from the viral discussion noted that critics derided Harp’s tote as a “diaper bag,” but also noted that the accusation was not supported by medical records or official statements. The report further notes that fact-checkers, including Snopes, have repeatedly refuted similar claims against Trump in previous years.
Additionally, there are no photos showing the contents of Harp’s bag, and no medical records, White House statements or eyewitness accounts corroborate this account.
As of this writing, neither the White House nor Harp have publicly responded to the latest viral post.
