It's amazing how all these dumbasses look exactly the same. I knew exactly what she'd look like even before watching the video.
Fun fact I overheard! This is a thing in cults. It's something about a uniform appearance plus appearance policing (either overt or to fit in).

So this article talks about extensive surgery and over the top procedures, and then the only actual person it mentions apparently hasn't had much work done, just dental work and styling. And no photos. Am I taking crazy pills?

"Just dental work and styling"
Yeah ok fair, but I was talking more about the writing. They still framed it that way. But she does look terrifying. Do people really think this is what Ivanka looks like because...it's uh, not.
I think the author's are being cautious about calling out someone's appearance. It can be hard to determine if a plastic surgery did happen, and if it was purely cosmetic.
Like if you look at her now, she clearly has a difference nose (more noticeable in more recent photos), but writing "Kristi had a nose job to look more like Ivanka" lands the wrong way if you can't prove that she actually had a nose job, and that it was for that reason. Imagine how bad your ass would get sued if she actually had a cyst or melanoma on her nose, and had to have it removed and then get reconstructive surgery?
Ok, so I just watched the Kristi Noem South Park episode last night, and it was pretty much about this, lol.
i just googled maralago face and this was the first thing that popped up. theres better sources for sure
