President Trump’s eldest granddaughter says that a day at the Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia, turned into a terrifying health scare after she suffered an allergic reaction.
Kai Trump, 18, recounted the ordeal in a YouTube video Monday, saying she needed a steroid shot to bring the reaction under control.
“It was so, so scary. I mean the needle was like this big,” she said, sizing up the needle to be several inches long.
Kai said the skin reaction was the result of using hand soap to wash makeup off her face.
“I started getting like these bumps on my neck,” she explained to her more than 1.4 million subscribers in a vlog ahead of her senior prom over the weekend. Kai said the rash was gone.

While the allergic reaction required medical treatment, Trump still managed to spend time with some top golfers at the Masters. She took a photo with Bryson DeChambeau, an ally of Trump and one of the most prominent leaders of LIV Golf, a Saudi-funded competitor to the PGA Tour.

Notably missing from the Masters crowd was Tiger Woods, who is dating Vanessa Trump, Kai’s mother.
The 50-year-old golf legend was arrested for driving under the influence in March after a rollover crash near Jupiter, Florida.

A source told People that Woods is now “fully integrated” into Vanessa’s family and is close with Kai. But Woods’ legal trouble has allegedly “raised some concerns” for Don Jr., according to the tabloid. However, the source said the president’s son has been “supportive of Tiger and Vanessa, especially when it comes to the kids.”
