Harp revealed her feelings in a second letter, recalling how a trip helped keep her from “burnout,” as she was “starting to envy those whose only ‘job’ seems to be to talk with you and look pretty. I want that job!!”
She wrote, “I need to reunite my past self with my current into a better version who will make you proud. And please, when I fail, will you tell me? You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more.”
The aide then quoted a line from Jane Austen’s famous novel, Pride and Prejudice: “To modify a classic, ‘I could not have parted with you, to anyone less worthy. And, I will add, it is I who is unworthy.”
The letters seemed to have raised red flags for Trump’s security team, according to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who co-penned the book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump.
