The \u201cMar-a-Lago face\u201d has become the newest unofficial badge of power in Washington.<\/p>\n

British newspaper The Guardian hilariously observes that the \u201cbee-sting puffy lips, frozen brows and taut necks have been compared to Real Housewives<\/em> stars, sleep paralysis demons and \u2013 ironically, considering the Republican Party\u2019s anti-LGBTQ+ culture war \u2013 drag queens (minus the campy fun)\u201d.<\/p>\n
