A video showing a woman with a large red bag boarding Air Force One just behind Donald Trump during his trip to Nevada and Arizona has gone viral, triggering widespread online speculation about her identity.
The clip, widely shared on X, led some users to describe her as a “mysterious” figure, with reactions ranging from genuine curiosity to open ridicule. One user joked: “Internet turning a normal commute into a conspiracy documentary,” while others dismissed the speculation as exaggerated.
Who is the woman seen in the footage?
Despite the online theories, social media posts quickly identified her as Natalie Harp, a long-time aide to Trump.
Harp currently works as the president’s executive assistant, a position she assumed in January 2025. She regularly accompanies Trump on trips and is known for carrying documents and materials for his meetings and political engagements, which likely explains the large red bag seen in the viral footage. She has also been involved in assisting with drafting and managing Trump’s social media activity.
The pair’s long-standing connection dates back to 2019, when she attracted national attention on Fox News after praising Trump for signing a federal right-to-try law, incorrectly stating that it had allowed her to access experimental treatment that ultimately saved her life.
The internet reacts
Still, online users leaned heavily into conspiracy-style jokes. One commenter wrote: “Thats where they’re keeping all the missing Epstein files, right there in that backpack!” while another added: “Mysterious woman with large red bag seen getting on Air Force One behind President Trump 👀”.
“Natalie Harp is President Trump’s assistant! She has a mysterious aura to her because she is rarely in the spotlight,” another user wrote.

Although the clip sparked widespread speculation, the reality appears far less sensational, as Harp is simply a senior aide performing her duties.
Given the heightened scrutiny surrounding Trump amid the ongoing conflict with Iran, now in its second week following a two-week ceasefire, it is unsurprising that lesser-known members of his administration and inner circle have come under increased public attention.
