Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta joked Monday that he may soon receive a visit from the U.S. Secret Service after sharing – and bursting out laughing – over an image depicting first lady Melania Trump shoving a catering crate containing President Donald Trump off a cliff.
Trump was scrutinized last week for “humiliatingly having to hide inside of a catering truck” out of fear of a supposed attempt on his life from Tehran, an incident that occurred in July but was first reported last week by The Washington Post.
“The whole world is laughing at the President of the United States, which is not a new experience for all of us here in America. But there’s one… should we be showing this?” Acosta said Monday on “The Jim Acosta Show” before starting to laugh as the image was queued up.
“It’s Melania pushing the catering container off the cliff. She even has the inauguration hat and everything, and Trump says, ‘Natalie, is that you?’ Oh my god. Am I going to get in trouble? Am I going to get a knock on the door from U.S. Secret Service? Is this like 86-47? Am I allowed to put this on? Oh, boy.”
The reference to “Natalie” included in the image is a likely reference to Natalie Harp, Trump’s 34-year-old executive assistant whose closeness to the president has unsettled the White House. She’s been nicknamed “the human printer” for “following Trump around with a portable printer so she could hand-deliver him hard copies of emails, news articles and social media posts,” Yahoo! News reported.
Harp has become estranged from some of her family members, according to reporting from the Daily Mail, including from her own brother, who described her relationship with the president as “very unhealthy.”
