Man, I do love when Wikipedia is Just Stating Facts™ and yet reads like the sassiest gossip, because reality is just so dumb[^1].

Ivanka Trump [Trump's daughter with his first wife] has been described as the inspiration of Mar-a-Lago face.

Kristi Noem, Melania Trump [Trump's third wife], and Kimberly Guilfoyle have been described as having Mar-a-Lago face.

He does like to talk about wanting sex with Ivanka, so I guess, that tracks.

Melissa Rein Lively, a MAGA political worker, was reported [...] to reject "any idea of submission or constraint" associated with Mar-a-Lago face, and that "no one forces me to do two hours of sport a day, to go to the hairdresser every three and a half weeks, to get my nails and eyebrows done, to get Botox."

Blink twice, if you're being forced to say this...? Seriously, why would you list a bunch of unpleasant aspects, if you're trying to make the point that you don't mind it?

[^1]: By the way, we do have a great word for this in German: Realsatire – when reality is so ridiculous that merely recounting it sounds like satire.

Translates pretty solidly into English.
