Overview
- Hines writes that she met President Donald Trump in Milwaukee in July 2024, shortly after the Pennsylvania rally shooting, and immediately developed widespread hives after leaving the hotel suite.
- According to her account, Trump told Robert F. Kennedy Jr. he believed Kennedy needed Secret Service protection, dictated a request to adviser Susie Wiles, and posted about it on Truth Social.
- Hines says a subsequent presidential order from Joe Biden provided a Secret Service detail to Kennedy only, leaving immediate family without the same coverage.
- She describes lip swelling that sent her to an urgent care clinic, where a clinician ruled out an allergic reaction, advised stress reduction, and prescribed steroids with an EpiPen as a precaution.
- Hines is promoting her book Unscripted, recounting the episode and also describing how she and Kennedy sequestered themselves to confront a sexting scandal and later criticized The View for focusing on her husband rather than the memoir.
