The r/LeopardsAteMyFace subreddit used to be full of Brexit-related stories about leopards eating faces, but nowadays it’s all MAGA and Trump related. Enjoy.
Literal FAFO. NSFW. You have been warned.
Norwegian painter Ida Bjerkeskaug expresses her explicit and graphic opinion on Trump+Musk. She tells Norwegian media that she came up with the idea after her first encounter with Trump supporters - “I was fascinated over how brainwashed people can be.”

One more to the growing pile.
According to Snopes, that photo is fake.
I should have checked snopes first…but in my defense I did expand the picture and using my eagle-eye photoshop expertise relied on my own judgement.
I even took off my glasses to look
Remember that time in the electoral campaign when he used the same words of Adolf Hitler to refer to immigrants? Well, now he wants to build a huge camp for “illegal immigrants” in Guantamo.
No, you didn’t read it wrong: GUANTANAMO! The only place where the government of the United States can violate human rights.
It is set to host up to 30,000 people, let’s call it for what it is: a concentration camp, he is building a concentration camp.
No no, this is just a camp, where they can “concentrate” if you will, large groups, while they work on a solution, a final one, er…ok I’ve got nothing…the Oompa Loompa is a fascist, time to brace ourselves for a fight…
Don’s and his current cohort’s agenda merging with the heinous history of Guantánamo - this is some fast scaling up of cruelty.
Next up: giving every man, woman, and child who lives close to the US/ Mexico border a rifle and a few boxes of cartridges, then offering a $1000 reward for every border jumper confirmed to be terminated with extreme prejudice?
Or simply dropping a nuke onto Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, India, and Honduras, perhaps? Wouldn’t that be the ultimate ‘horse head in the bed’ kind of message?!
Oh, the inhumane places Donnie can go…
His cruelty is bottomless. Leave it to Trump to repurpose a prison meant to circumvent our own laws on human rights.
When you are so narcissistic and unaccountable that you don’t realize you are blaming yourself…

Don, Erik, and Ivanka? Even they won’t fucking work with him this term!
Sooo…according to the AP article, they put the tariffs there to “to protect Americans” against fentanyl. And I thought their sky daddy would protect them if they’d just pray for it? I wonder why that doesn’t seem to be working…
The Trump administration says its planned tariffs will not cause higher prices in the U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday that consumer prices will start coming down, but it might not happen immediately.
(Reuters)
Say what? They’re starting to backtrack? Even if the stable genious Trump has “repeatedly suggested other nations are paying for US tariffs”? (CNN, April 2024) (*)
And with trade war tariffs in place, exporters from countries not directly affected by the tariffs might act opportunistically, and raise their prices as well. And same with US businesses, adding insult to injury;
Likewise, the US International Trade Commission said in a 2023 study that US importers “bore nearly the full cost” of the tariffs.
Worse, some businesses appeared to take advantage of the trade war by bumping up prices even higher.
Goldman Sachs found that tariffs allowed US producers and non-Chinese exporters to the US market to “opportunistically raise their prices as well.”
(Ibid.)
<sarcasm>Yeah, I’ll offer my TP (thoughts and prayers) That should certainly help.</sarcasm>
(*) Edit: Another source:
"We’re going to protect our country with tariffs,” Trump told Republican lawmakers in a speech. “If they don’t make their product in America, then very simply, they should have to pay a tariff, which will bring in trillions of dollars into our treasury,” he added, referring to foreign manufacturers.
FAFO: I can’t seem to find a source for the claim, but I distinctly remember having seen Trump whining about Europe not buying US made cars. Well, what he doesn’t seem to understand (or is incapable of understanding) is that US vehicles have never really been popular in Europe. Traditionally, they have been too big to be practical, they have been too energy inefficient, and they generally don’t suit the road infrastructure we have here. Try maneuvering a big US made car through the narrow streets of old Italian or Spanish cities, and you’ll get stuck pretty quickly. In those countries, small and compact cars are the thing. Besides, Japanese, Korean, and European cars are more aligned with the preferences of European consumers.
On top of all that, we have a shift towards electrical vehicles in Europe due to regulations requiring reductions in CO2 emissions.
By 2035, a zero-CO2 emission target for the new cars and vans fleet corresponds to a 100% reduction. To reach these goals, a significant increase in the uptake of zero-emission vehicles will be needed.
(source)
In 2023,
Electric vehicles accounted for 22.7% of new car registrations and 7.7% of new van registrations.
(Ibid.)
Example statistics: In Norway, 19 out of 20 (95%) of new cars sold in August 2024 were electrical vehicles, and as per today (2025) we have more EVs on the roads than vehicles with combustion engines (source). Except Tesla and a few other less popular cars (like the Ford Mustang EV), there are not any real US alternatives.
So, the FAFO takeaway here is that Trump keep on chanting "drill, baby, drill" and resists the development of EVs, all the time complaining that e.g. Europe doesn’t buy US cars, without any real understanding of why. The exception to this is mostly Tesla cars (people either bought them before Musk came out as batshit insane, or buy them despite Musk), which for the European market are mostly built in Europe and in China. However, Europeans just don’t want US made cars for the above mentioned reasons, and because they are getting increasingly irrelevant as the shift towards EVs is progressing.
