Shadowing Practice: Marjorie Post Ends Trump Love Affair - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
A post from Marjorie Taylor Greene has just done what Donald Trump dreaded most,
2
and that's turned the Natalie Harp saga from just a juicy piece of White House gossip to the thing
3
that will ultimately bring him down.
4
Because we know that Natalie is either Donald Trump's secret lover or secret girlfriend, maybe his secret nurse, it's a possibility she's all of those things,
5
but she is also, and more importantly, the person who controls this, Donald Trump's phone.
6
And there is a lot on Donald Trump's phone.
7
Now, there is so much that we are going to talk about in this video as it relates to Marjorie's post,
8
the files, Natalie Harp, Donald Trump being in cognitive decline, having dementia.
9
And if you want to support our work calling that out, do make sure you subscribe to this channel and leave a like on this video if you haven't already.
10
But we got to start with the most recent reporting from Maggie Haberman outlining their relationship
11
as it relates to Donald Trump and his decoy plane story.
12
I can guess why Natalie Harp and Walt Nauta and Dan Scavino were with him.
13
Natalie Harp, because she is sort of his binky, for lack of a better way of putting it, a comfort blanket.
14
Walt Nauta is something similar.
15
He also always carries that brown leather briefcase that became very familiar in term one.
16
It had things like Tic Tacs and hairspray and all kinds of stuff.
17
And Dan Scavino, because he's one of Trump's closest aides and has been with Trump for 30-some-odd years.
18
First as a caddy in his Westchester call, of course, and then into the White House and then the campaign.
19
And Scavino and Natalie Hart both have some access to slash control over his social media.
20
So there could have been a reason for that as well.
21
But again, we don't know because we are left guessing because there has been so little information about this.
22
I am so glad that Maggie Haberman used the word binky, because that is absolutely what Natalie Harp is.
23
She is something that makes Donald Trump happy.
24
As he continues to decline cognitively, Donald Trump needs the affirmation of nice stories about him, right?
25
It needs to make him feel good because he's so insecure.
26
But she also points out that Natalie Harp controls Donald Trump's social media.
27
That is a very important point to make and something that I think is being overlooked in all of this.
28
The control that Natalie has over Donald Trump's phone.
29
What gets posted, who we're texting, who we're responding to, what we're seeing.
30
And what she wants Donald Trump to see and not see.
31
And I think some reporting about Natalie Harp's brother makes this all the more interesting
32
and exposes why the post Marjorie made is so bad for Trump.
33
The author noted that while no one in the Trump camp suspects a sexual relationship,
34
there was nonetheless a conviction that Harp is hopelessly in love with Donald Trump and determined to be his higher-purpose bride.
35
It's a Christian devotional relationship, one Trump aide told Wolf.
36
The biographer attributed Melania Trump's continued absence from Trump during his campaign to his attachment to Natalie Harp.
37
Melania, whose appearances with her husband were carefully negotiated and choreographed, would not show up if Harp was around.
38
Since Harp was always around, Melania was never appearing with her husband, only in the last week of the campaign.
39
Wolfe noted that 56-year-old first lady did not move into the White House with Trump after his return to office.
40
Other than at ceremonial occasions or in a strictly official capacity, she has given up the role of wife, he wrote.
41
Practically speaking, there is no room for her.
42
Trump, meanwhile, told his team early in the second term that Harp was the only one that loved him, God, this is so fucking weird, as much as his wife and kids.
43
Melania Trump's lawyer did not respond to a request for comment, while the White House communications director, Stephen Chung, responded to this piece in new reporting by saying,
44
Michael Wolfe is a lying sack of shit and has been proven to be a fraud.
45
He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination,
46
only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump derangement syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.
47
Wow, that's a lot now, isn't it?
48
So we know that there is this unhealthy relationship.
49
Natalie Harp, very protective over Donald Trump, wants to defend him and wants to make him feel good.
50
She wants to keep Donald Trump in a bubble, even more so than he already is because we know Donald Trump, whether because he doesn't want to be in touch with reality
51
or because he has so many yes-men and women kissing his ass.
52
Donald Trump is unaware of really anything happening around him.
53
His military officials keep him out of meetings.
54
His own staff keep him out of meetings about the files.
55
And that is what I want to talk about, the files.
56
Because how much information does Natalie Harp have, especially given the post that Marjorie Taylor Greene made?
57
Now, this was back at the end of last year, but it is resurfacing because of its connection to the files,
58
because of its connection to intra-White House communication and so much more.
59
Sophia Kai, a reporter with Politico, wrote, More on Natalie Harp printed.
60
Getting that text from Natalie Harp is as close as you can get to a presidential red receipt
61
because it means she's printed it, stories that is, and will show it to Trump.
62
Marjorie Taylor Greene appealed to Natalie Harp in a 72-word text message when Trump was attacking her on Truth Social.
63
And I want to take a look at that post.
64
This is a post from Marjorie Taylor Greene in November of 2025 when she is fighting with Donald Trump and saying,
65
President Trump just attacked me and lied about me.
66
I haven't called him at all, but I did send him a text message.
67
Now, as we can see, Marjorie Taylor Greene is texting someone in her phone, and it says DJT.
68
I think we can all assume that that is, you know, Donald J.
69
Trump.
70
But if you look at the right side, these are back-to-back screenshots.
71
Marjorie also posted a communication with Natalie H.
72
We just have to assume Natalie Harp.
73
She responds, the Jeffrey Epstein hoax.
74
And of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene is sending her a text.
75
But even back in November, people close to Donald Trump, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, knew how close Natalie Harp was to the president
76
and her ability to shape what he thinks and what he does.
77
Natalie Harp must be subpoenaed.
78
Natalie Harp has tons of information, right?
79
She controls this phone.
80
And what does this phone do?
81
Well, one, it sends a lot of text messages that I'm sure are not all coming from Donald Trump, but it posts on Truth Social.
82
It posts about the files.
83
It posts attacking Republicans.
84
And so maybe Natalie Harp has a little red light, green light, maybe a little yellow light.
85
Hey, Donald, maybe we don't post that.
86
Hey, maybe we use this language.
87
We have already seen her working out posts with Trump during Kamala Harris's DNC speech, right?
88
We remember that, right?
89
So this is something that happens.
90
We know they workshop posts together, but let's talk about the files part of it, right?
91
If Marjorie Taylor Greene is reaching out to Natalie Harp and saying, please appeal to him, help me communicate.
92
And she's going, well, quite frankly, because Natalie Harp, I guess, speaks like Trump in this reality.
93
Well, quite frankly, he's totally done nothing wrong.
94
And you're just a crazy person for saying that because of Norse.
95
Of course, Natalie Harp would be a cultist.
96
What we're seeing here, and what Marjorie is revealing, is that she has the power to influence the president.
97
And she's in on things.
98
And she's part of sharing these posts.
99
And if she has the ability to influence, then she knows what's going on.
100
And then Natalie Harp is one of the best pathways we have to learning more information about the files.
101
And so much more.
102
What other posting does Donald Trump do that's impactful?
103
Oh, Donald Trump controls the markets through his Truth Social, now doesn't he?
104
And there needs to be an investigation into whether
105
or not Donald Trump was purposely putting out tweets at certain times
106
and sharing when he was going to put out those tweets to make sure those around him could make money.
107
Remember at the beginning of this war
108
when every other day Donald Trump was posting something shaping oil futures
109
and people were making massive buys or sells depending on what it was going to be?
110
Who's to say Natalie Harp hasn't been communicating with big moneyed interests and maybe getting a cut of that pie?
111
I don't know.
112
But these are questions that we can ask because
113
if Donald Trump's Truth Social account is the most powerful social media on the planet, and I think that's undeniable,
114
that Natalie Harp, who literally controls it, needs to answer questions.
115
We also need to know what influence she's having over Donald Trump.
116
right now it's funny to me
117
that there are some people who are who are begging us to give sympathy to Natalie Harp, right?
118
Saying, oh, lay off her.
119
Oh, she doesn't need this.
120
Oh, that's so terrible.
121
It's mostly people on the right saying, oh, how could you treat how could you treat a woman this way?
122
She's a she's a fascist first.
123
This is a point that I would like to make because this goes for Carolyn Levitt.
124
This goes for Usha Vance.
125
This goes for anyone
126
that maybe some people out there want to afford a little bit of sympathy to
127
because Donald Trump treats women in his administration so badly and women just broadly bat, they signed up for this.
128
And they are fascist first.
129
You are a fascist before you are anything else.
130
That is the identity that comes first, which is why I find it wild that there was new reporting,
131
I think kind of like appealing to a public sympathy about
132
how tough it is to be a MAGA woman right now in the wake of Carolyn Levitt leaving the White House.
133
I want to read this because I've got some thoughts.
134
MAGA ladies spill on brutal reality of working for Trump.
135
Women working for the president have said it's exhausting to keep up with his constant demands.
136
Women working under Donald Trump are speaking out about the toll that the job can take, given the beauty standards and the president's demanding nature.
137
Several MAGA women told the Daily Mail that they didn't blame outgoing White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt for wanting to leave.
138
While also Levitt cited a desire to spend more time with her young children, she was also reportedly fed up with the constant demands from Trump.
139
Some women revealed that the constant pressure to keep up with the latest beauty standard,
140
which can include daily blowouts and regular Botox treatments, can also grow tiresome.
141
It gets to be utterly draining, one MAGA woman said of working for Trump.
142
You have to be exceptional at your job.
143
That's kind of funny because you actually don't.
144
You just have to lie, which is a given.
145
But if you're a woman, you have to look a certain way, dress a certain way and be available 24-7 because this is a president who barely sleeps, she explained.
146
Add to that the pressure of a family at home and it's no wonder so many of us flame out.
147
Blanche Sprague, one of Donald Trump's former executives from his days as a New York socialite,
148
told the Daily Mail that it was exhausting working like a nanny to keep up with his demands.
149
He used to call me up at night and say, did you know that there's a soda bottle in front of Trump Plaza?
150
And I would have to make sure that it was picked up right away
151
because he would drive past again to see
152
that it was gone she recalled some defenders of the president's demands asserted
153
that it was not Trump's behavior exactly
154
that drives women to focus on the appearance
155
but female competition amongst his staffers so
156
that sounds healthy he doesn't force these women to have 6 a.m blowouts
157
or get plastic surgery or go on weight loss drugs one person said, they get the Botox and fillers because the White House is a competitive place.
158
Everyone is vying for attention.
159
But whose attention?
160
It seems like Trump's.
161
Sources also revealed that for some of the lower-level staffers, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze with high-pressure nature of the work
162
and the relatively low salaries compared to other entry-level political gigs in Washington.
163
You are expected to look a certain way.
164
Most of the women at the White House get their hair blown out at least twice a week before work, and then there is a pressure to go to the gym and dress well.
165
A lot of younger aides don't make that much money.
166
You're talking maybe $50,000 to $70,000 a year.
167
It's not only a stressful business working in Trump's world, it's an expensive one.
168
Still, in addition to Levitt, six other women from Trump's inner circle have departed since the start of the year.
169
Tulsi Gabbard, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem,
170
Lori Chavez de Ramire and of course Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson as well as Sony Joy Nelson.
171
In his post announcing her departure the president said
172
that Levitt will be moving into a new role as an outside advisor to work to defy history
173
and conclusively win the midterm elections.
174
Sources told the Daily Mail that even though she is leaving the podium Trump likely still will be frequently calling Levitt.
175
If you are a fascist I've got no sympathy for you.
176
You get no fucks from me.
177
You get no, oh, I'm sorry.
178
Oh, that must be tough.
179
You are a bad person through and through.
180
I don't care if you're a lady.
181
Like, what are we talking about here?
182
It's the dumbest appeal that you're seeing from the right right now.
183
They're trying to call John Ossoff a misogynist for like making fun of Natalie Harp.
184
He's not even making fun of her.
185
He's pointing out there is a very unhealthy, awkward, and weird relationship between her and Trump, something her own brother said.
186
And it must be investigated because it represents Donald Trump's complete lack of focus on things
187
that matter but obsession with this 35 year old aide who clearly is in love with him
188
and his entire job is to show him nice things.
189
Because that's all that he cares about.
190
He doesn't care about service members on the USS Abraham Lincoln.
191
He cares about Natalie because she prints things that make him happy.
192
And that's fucking insane.
193
That's insane.
194
And she's also trying to push out positive messaging around the files.
195
She might be a part of this insider trading scheme. So no,
196
do I have sympathy for the MAGA ladies who are treated badly in a movement built on white supremacy
197
and this idea that women are trash and they just need to be subjugated and that they're property?
198
No. If you sign up for the movement that sees you as less than,
199
don't be surprise when being a part of that movement does not lead the people who run it to embrace you.
200
That's what these people think.
201
Oh, MAGA hates women.
202
But if I'm a MAGA woman, they'll love me.
203
They never will.
204
You'll never be enough.
205
And maybe they wake up to it.
206
They probably won't.
207
These people are brain broken.
208
We're going to continue to call them out.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
