It’s Tuesday…

Shitshow’s public schedule for…

Puddle’s entourage for his return to the international embarrassment circuit was announced by the White House on Monday.

The rest of the tweet says: Ambassador Monica Crowley Natalie Harp.

Among those making the trip is Natalie Harp, Puddle’s executive assistant. She’s reportedly been attached to Team Puddle since 2022, but lately she’s been getting a lot more attention thanks to the book Regime Change, which describes her as one of the most influential figures in Puddle’s inner circle.

The Palm Beach Post explained (06/29/2026):

Natalie Harp, 34, is the executive assistant to Trump, 80, and a former television presenter for the One American Network. Her nickname from the Trump administration is the “human printer” because she followed Trump around with a portable printer and a battery pack to provide him with information in printouts.

The rumors behind Harp and Trump’s relationship first came to light in the 2025 book “All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America” by Michael Wolff. He reported that in the midst of her duties, Harp would write “eyebrow-raising” personal notes to the president.

“In this pile of papers, she also frequently includes personal notes to him, and notes that, you know, [say] ‘You’re the alpha and the omega,’ ‘The be all and end all,’ ‘What would I be without you?'” Wolff said.

Vanity Fair reported in 2025 that sources from the Trump administration expressed “bewilderment and concern” at Harp’s letters. They said they had tried to create distance between the president and Harp, but it did not last.

Now, the latest biography of Trump doubles down on Harp’s letters to Trump and how uncomfortable it made other staff members. They wrote that Trump calls her “Nathalie,” adopting a French pronunciation, and would say that she was the “only one who loved him as much as his wife and kids.”

“Harp was generally on a chair off to the side, her laptop open, head cocked, listening but never contributing unless ordered to by Trump,” Haberman and Swan wrote. “She fulfilled, in a flash, any request, whether a ‘Trump 2028’ that needed to be fetched from the merchandise room, a quick Google search, or producing the latest story from right-wing websites like Breitbart or Gateway Pundit.”

They also recount a letter in which Harp allegedly writes to Trump, “You are all that matters to me.”

The Palm Beach Post explained (06/29/2026).

Pretty sure it’s Harp that we can thank for this post…

Or this…

They originally shared the post at the end of June.

Turns out the gaudy golden eagle never existed. It was AI-generated, which somehow makes it one of the less ridiculous things posted over the holiday weekend.

 President Donald Trump raised eyebrows with what initially seemed like his latest addition to the White House – a giant golden eagle mounted on the Truman Balcony.

But an image of the eagle that Trump posted June 29 on Truth Social appears to be generated by AI and is not an authentic photograph.

The image shared by Trump displays a golden eagle, spanning several feet in width, with its wings spread to mimic the U.S. seal, attached to the railing of the mansion’s south balcony. It features an American crest with 11 stripes and 11 stars, two fewer than the 13 stripes that historically recognize the original colonies.

Meanwhile, Trump’s “birthday” caption included an error. Although the U.S. was founded 250 years ago in 1776, construction on the White House did not begin until 1792. It was completed in 1800, with President John Adams and wife Abigail Adams becoming its first occupants.

Enough about his personal assistant. Onward to Puddle the Idiot Abroad.

Most world leaders came to discuss NATO. Puddle came hoping someone would gift-wrap Greenland.

Puddle:

Well, that’s what hurt my relationship with NATO. Because Greenland doesn’t help Denmark. Denmark doesn’t spend money to really help Greenland, but it’s an important part for the United States, and it’s surrounded by Chinese ships and Russian ships. And that’s not going to happen. It’s not going to happen.

It was Greenland that, in my opinion, and it continues to be, should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark. And when they wouldn’t go along with it, and with all the money we spend to help them with Russia, and we don’t have to spend any money, we could remove all of our soldiers out of Europe because, as you probably noticed, Europe’s a very different place than it was 20 years ago. A lot different. Much different.

They better be careful with immigration and energy. If they’re not careful with those two things, you’re not going to have a Europe anymore.

Okay. Thank you very much, everybody.

Asked about this post…

Rather than explain why he posted weird AI stalker bait about Italy’s prime minister, Puddle claimed the real problem was base access during his Iran strikes.

*Flashback*

Italy denied some US military planes usage of the Sigonella ​air base in Sicily on back in March according to Politico.EU. (03/31/2026):

Some U.S. bombers had planned to land in Sigonella last week before flying onward, but their flight plan was not communicated in advance to the Italian air force general staff, nor had the American aircraft received authorization to land, according to Corriere della Sera.

As these were not logistical flights, they were not covered by the bilateral treaty governing U.S. military bases in Italy which allow for logistical and technical use; that led Defense Minister Guido Crosetto to deny the planes the use of the Sigonella base since permission in this case would need approval from the Italian parliament.

In a note from the office of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a close ally of Donald Trump, Rome didn’t deny the episode but stressed that it doesn’t mean a conflict with Washington.

“Each request is carefully examined, case by case, as has always been the case in the past,” the statement said. “There have been no critical issues or friction with international partners. Relations with the United States, in particular, are solid and based on full and loyal cooperation.”

What in the Fued?

Puddle v. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni…

Puddle told Italy’s LA7 television channel that Meloni, once known as the “Trump whisperer,” begged him for a photo and that he agreed because he “felt sorry for her,” according to the Washington Post.

“Probably she is happy that I talked to her. I didn’t have to talk to her.” Trump told LA7. “I don’t know what to say. She begged me for a picture. She wanted a picture with me so badly.” He claimed he agreed because he “felt sorry for her.”

Washington Post. 06/19/2026.

Meloni fired back calling the story “completely fabricated”. And that she was “frankly astonished”.

Meloni, for her part, posted an extraordinary video rebuttal on Instagram, which included her harshest comments about Trump so far. “Donald Trump’s statements are completely fabricated. I’m frankly astonished,” Meloni said.

Washington Post. 06/19/2026.

As a result of his comments Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has canceled a planned trip to the US.

As part of the cascading diplomatic spat, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani abruptly canceled an appearance at an upcoming major economic conference in Miami. Other Italian officials also voiced outrage over Trump’s remarks.

*End Flashback*

See? He wasn’t pressed in March. He got pressed because a woman dared to call out his lies.
