Abstract

The article from Mother Jones explores the concept of the "Mar-a-Lago face" aesthetic embraced by figures in Donald Trump's orbit, particularly women, involving dramatic makeup and extensive plastic surgery. The article delves into the political implications of this aesthetic, suggesting that it signals fealty to Trump and traditional gender roles. It also discusses the broader societal pressures and implications of conforming to certain beauty standards, drawing parallels to South Korea's plastic surgery culture. Ultimately, the article critiques the willingness of individuals to conform to this aesthetic in pursuit of power, highlighting the underlying cruelty and inhumanity in politics.
