Harp, whose close relationship with Trump has come under intense scrutiny in recent weeks, and the other two female aides reported the money as a “cash gift for the holidays” in their annual executive branch disclosure forms released by the White House.
Harp, and the other aides — Chamberlain Harris, deputy director of Oval Office operations and Margo Martin, a communications adviser — each make an annual salary of $150,000, according to publicly disclosed White House documents.

Trump is a conman . He has stolen 2.4 billion in first yr in office. You are all corrupt
That whole “absolute (federal) pardon power” thing working out for you all? 🇺🇸 🤡 💩
L.O.L. major RESPONSIBILITIES DURING WAR TIME !
No WORRIES 5000$;TO KEEP HIM IN OFFICE ! BRIBING OR PINPING ?
I voted dem for 30 years and will likely never vote Democrat again. Anti business, anti-God, pro illegal
Immigration, pro socialism garbage. I hate CNN. Keep at it though with you 24/7 TDS channel
This is literally the 24/7 anti-Trump network. And the left wonders why it lost last time and will lose again.
Trump never gives anything away without getting something in return.
Wink, wink.
I bet it just tickled Karoline
Did this guy get a bonus from Trump to do this interview?
So?
Diesel fuel costs have climbed so high in parts of the U.S. that some station displays can no longer show the correct prices. The situation has sparked mockery and anger at the president, with social media users seizing on the broken displays as a symbol of broader cost-of-living strains. Diesel powers our ports and freight trucks, our farming equipment, and delivery fleets. Fuel prices respond quickly to geopolitical escalation, and fragile consumer confidence highlights the affordability backdrop of the midterms. Trump returned to the White House promising to bring down costs, however, affordability has remained the issue and voters have long treated the pump as a referendum on elections. A price jump of 35 cents in a single week is displayed on signs that cannot show more than four digits, and American shoppers have not yet felt the full force of the levies. This is why economists and political strategists alike watch diesel as a barometer of economic pain that voters actually feel
Yes, go Trump.Give money to those who deserve it ! Not the Do nothing.Generation !
And People still support him 😅
CNN, You NEVER quit trying to make something out of NOTHING 👹👎🙄
Trump is corrupt, plain and simple.
Their argument is essentially rules don’t apply because it’s Trump. Had it been a Democrat doing this it would have been a different story.
Donald Trump didn't pay those bonuses, we did!
The problem with what this guy is saying is that he is not giving away his money. He is giving away our money
They already make over 100k. To get a bonus for kissing his ass is insane!
What a wonderful President, so generous, so caring, he loves everyone and follows the word of God everyday to make your life better. Worship him.
I get it. She is gorgeous and perfectly broken. What's not to love?
Nobody cares!!😂😂😂
OH YEAH SURE GIVE EVERYBODY GIFTS TRUMP IS GIFTING HIMSELF WITH ALL THE DRIFTING MONEY LAUNDERING MEME COINS YEAH OF COURSE NONE OF THIS IS ILLEGAL
I mean $135K ($45K x 3) of tax payer dollars to people that make $150K a year… Sure. I'm sure American tax payers won't mind cash gifts like that when the country has crazy amount of debt, people have to deal with staggering wages with cost of living being crazy, people having so much debt from this economy, etc.
China has not directly killed anyone—even if some images might suggest otherwise—whereas the US government deliberately kills children in schools. America commits murder and genocide, and aggresses against independent nations like Venezuela, simply to steal oil; its crimes are countless, yet today it points the finger at China! What, then, do we call the US government's support for the Jewish entity? Does the US government really want to issue threats?
It could not even confront Yemen regarding dilapidated ships; does it really want to start a battle with China?
If so, then by all means—let there be war, just as the US administration desires, even as it flees from confrontation… They are merely seeking pretexts to mask their defeat from the American people. No nation on earth has committed crimes comparable to those of America over the past 80 years.

Did the mfer tell Kacey the president is a generous guy?? Ahhh yes! So we have Trump to thank for his contributions to humanity? Gutting funding for Medicaid, SNAP, women's domestic violence and homeless shelters, USAID, crime prevention and mental health programs, the VA and so many others. Trump's generosity knows no bounds 🙄🙄 Using taxpayers' $$ to go and play golf, build his ridiculous vanity projects, renovating his bribe from Qatar, etc etc. What a generous soul! 🙄🍊🤡
