Mayor Augustus May

?the mayor of Whoville, Augustus was thought to be a well-meaning leader seemingly concerned over the panic of several Who citizens about the Grinch's presence during Christmas. However, this is all a facade to hide his true nature: that of a rude, greedy, arrogant, and egotistical politician who is willing to exploit the holidays for his own benefit and is even shown to be a bully to the Grinch as an adult. Even as a child, he was a spoiled bully who made fun of the young Grinch for being "inferior," especially during Christmas, which drove the Grinch into becoming the?Christmas-hating and misanthropic hermit?that he was ever known. Even when the Grinch briefly became the Holiday Cheermeister, Augustus presents him with a razor to remind him of the horrible incident before getting others to laugh at this on purpose to get them to bully him (some who possibly don't know about the razor's meaning and just think that it's a good-natured joke from the Mayor), much to the Grinch's humiliation and anger. Augustus also appeared to be quite corrupt, as he callously allowed massive littering of garbage (including hazardous waste) into Mount Crumpit; even during the Christmas light contest when the judges declared Betty Lou Who as the winner, Augustus decided to announce Martha May Whovier as the winner by claiming it as a "split decision" in hopes of proposing to her. His materialism and greed are also shown when he publicly announces that he squandered the taxpayer's money to buy Martha an expensive-looking car. Augustus is lustful towards Martha because he had a crush on her ever since they were kids due to her attractiveness, and gall to say to Cindy Lou Who that Martha was his girlfriend by that time when she wasn't; even topping it off by proposing a marriage vow and a new car to her after humiliating the Grinch during the Cheermeister festivities. He is also revealed to be very greedy and materialistic in nature as he believes that Christmas is all about presents
