Dorian Gray in the White House

[Pesky1]

For those who have not seen the movie, "The Picture of Dorian Gray", the picture concerns a painting of the main character, Dorian Gray, that begins to change and take on an increasing grotesqueness mirroring the character's inner, appalling ugliness.

This appears to be happening to Krasnov. HIs face seems to become more marked over time by his own appalling, ugliness, and it is slowly becoming a disgusting mask. A complete absence of truthfulness and kindness.

And did I mention his eyes? Very cold with no light...reminiscent of a shark's.

I shake my head in disbelief every day.

1. He can't hide what he is

"The eyes are the windows to the soul." Feeble, rotting from within, evil.

2. In the novel, the portrait in the attic became uglier and more depraved-looking

while the actual person stayed youthful and attractive even though he was a nasty piece of work. In Trump's case it's the opposite. Maybe there's a portrait of him somewhere that's getting better-looking as he becomes more hideous.

3. I often cite Dorian Gray re Trump.
