A compromising picture has surfaced online, sparking cheating rumors as President Donald Trump was seen apparently getting much closer than he should be to a White House aide.
The image appears to depict the president kissing his 35-year-old aide Natalie Harp at his golf course in Doonbeg, County Clare, this weekend following his state visit to Ireland.
Is the image real or AI?
The speculation comes after Harp accompanied Trump during his recent trip to Ireland, where the president visited Trump International Golf Links & Hotel.
Photographs and videos of Trump and Harp together during the trip were genuine, adding to the online interest surrounding the fabricated or disputed image.
Harp, who works as one of Trump’s executive assistants, has become a familiar presence alongside the president. She has accompanied him on a number of trips and public engagements, which has prompted a string of rumors over their relationship on social media.
Trump and Harp have a long personal history
Harp first began working for the Trump administration in 2022, eventually earning the nickname “human printer” after becoming known for following Trump around and handing him printed articles and letters.
When Trump returned to the White House in 2025, Harp became an official Special Assistant to the President and Executive Assistant to the President.
Her proximity to Trump has caused fans and critics to speculate over whether the relationship between the high-profile colleagues is more than just professional.
In one picture, they are seen smooching, but it has not been confirmed whether the image is genuine. However, there is a high chance that the picture is AI-generated.
Reports examining the viral image found several apparent inconsistencies, including unusual details around the figures and objects in the scene.
Artificial-intelligence detection tools have also reportedly indicated that the photograph may have been generated or manipulated using AI.
Unsurprisingly, it is not the first time that the octogenarian president has been at the center of adultery rumors, and it probably will not be the last.
Most recently, adult actress Stormy Daniels revealed that she met Donald Trump at a celebrity golf tournament in July 2006, where they later had a sexual encounter.
Although Trump denied the allegations, his then-personal attorney, Michael Cohen, paid Daniels $130,000 in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement to keep her from publicly discussing the alleged encounter.
