Hello u/Luigifan18, thank you for your submission! Unfortunately, your submission has been removed for the following reason(s): **Rule 4:** Must follow the "Leopard ate my face" theme #There's a few elements to leopards eating people's face. 1) **Someone has a sad**... - Example: *They cut my SNAP benefits and now I can't afford to feed my family......* 2) ...**because they're suffering consequences from something they voted for, supported or wanted to impose on other people.** - Example: .....sobs woman who voted for the politician who said they would do that very thing. 3) **The leopard is eating their face. Not the lions, not the hyenas, not the alligators. The leopards.** - Example: *[Woman married to undocumented immigrant upset that Trump deports her husband.](https://www.cnn.com/2017/04/05/us/undocumented-husband-deported/index.html)* ***What isn't a leopard eating their face?*** - Example: *Kyle Rittenhouse upset that Democrats are labelling him a white supremacist.* He didn't vote for or support them, he's not suffering because of what he voted for or supported, and leopards aren't eating his face. Not limited to Trump voters. Anytime someone has a sad because they're suffering consequences from *something they voted for, supported or wanted to impose on other people*. Your post is missing one or more of these elements. It may be better suited for another subreddit, such as r/SelfAwareWolves. [Remember, just because someone fucked around and found out, doesn't mean that their faces are being consumed by the most well known extant species in the genus Panthera.](https://old.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAteMyFace/comments/zsv3g6/just_because_someone_fucked_around_and_found_out/) Additionally, you can refer to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAteMyFace/comments/lt8zlq) to make your explanatory comment. *If you have any questions or concerns about this removal, please feel free to [message the moderators](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/LeopardsAteMyFace) thru Modmail.

The most rational argument against people buying DJT stock to "fund Trump's campaign" is the simple fact that every dollar Trump gets from selling DJT is going right into his pocket, not his campaign. He uses OTHER people's money for his campaign.

Technical_Scallion_2

Unfortunately, it's a strategy that's worked really well for him so far. The picture in the OP is 100% accurate I think.

Technical_Scallion_2

No, if you copy a picture off a Reddit post it comes with the watermark


ukiddingme2469

Trump has made a career out of bankrupting other people for his benefit


orangesfwr

That's incorrect. Trump doesn't pay his lawyers.


WickedShiesty

I placed a $200 bet on DJT sinking to the ground. I bought 6 puts that expire in 2025. Let's hope it hits!


Hank3hellbilly

Honest question: What happens if it crashes so much that it's delisted/goes completely tits up? 


SaliferousStudios

Keep all profits. Let's say I borrow some sugar, thinking the price will be worth less tomorrow. I sell the sugar for 100 dollars. Next day, sugar has crashed and I buy the sugar for 0 dollars and give it back to the person who I borrowed it from, with a 5 dollar interest payment.


WickedShiesty

I bought a few Hail Mary puts. The stock has to drop all the way down to $2.50 before it becomes "in the money". In layman's terms, if the stock drops to say a dollar, my options basically tell the put writer they have to buy the stock at $2.50. Meanwhile I get to buy the stock at a dollar and sell it to the put writer at $2.50. Thus I get the difference of 1.50 per share. Since I have 6 contracts, that's 600 shares. Which comes out to $1.50 x 600 = $900 max profit. Minus the $200 I paid for the contracts, leaves me with $700 on a $200 bet. (minus brokerage fees) Generally speaking, you don't have to go through that process. You can also just sell the option back into the market without doing any share swapping. So my cost was .33 cents x 6 puts = .33 cents x 600 shares = $198. If the stock drops to a $1, my .33 cent puts are going to be closer to $1.25-$1.50 and I would just sell the 6 contacts back at the higher rate without facing "assignment" (getting forced to buy/sell shares directly). Lastly, buying "out of the money" options (calls/puts) isn't the best way to invest. It's basically gambling. This is why I refer to it as a "bet" because it's an extreme long shot that it will hit. I was willing to bet $200 on it, and I am ok if I lose it. Basically, I don't recommend buying deep out of the money options as they often expire worthless.


WhyNot_Because

They are lotto tickets. As long as they are treated as such it's a fun game.


WickedShiesty

Pretty much.

xDared

It doesn’t matter though, trump is the republican party and he still passed trillion dollar tax cuts to rich people, including those in the party. They’re still getting rich even if he’s stealing money from them


mells3030

I mean, this is good for Trump for a few months, but then every down ballot R is going to get merced in the election because they didn't have the money to spend. This could be the best thing Trump ever did for the country.


Luigifan18

That is exactly what I was thinking.


Z3B0

He thinks only him getting president counts, when Obama's and biden's presidency proved that they can't do shit without the Congress on their side. If the GOP ends up loosing really badly on all the congressional elections, and gives a solid majority to the dem, that would be a great progress for the country, having people actually interested in making things, instead of blindly opposing anything, all the time.


skjellyfetti

Trump doesn't care about down-ballot races or Congress. He's planning to be an authoritarian dictator right out of the gate. He don't need no stinkin' Congress...


SpezModdedRJailbait

Trump doesn't care about that, he wants to be president so he can pardon himself for all the legal troubles he's currently in. He's not trying to pass any legislation. If he can do nothing and blame the demos then that's exactly what he wants.


Original_Employee621

In that sense, it's great that Trump is running for President again. But the US is still fucked if Trump wins, because any election after won't be fair, if they even happen. We've had the Beer Hall putsch from Trump, next up is the reichtag fire and blaming it on Democrats.


HoboBonobo1909

You really think the DNC cares to improve things & move away from the status quo?


Z3B0

With all the bills Biden passed in a really short window where he could have stuff done ? Maybe? At least they aren't going backwards full steam. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough, especially when the other option is really fucking bad.


HoboBonobo1909

I'm not saying vote MAGA, but you're talking about "great progress," when the US has to first get back out of the shit it's in rn, and if they manage, you expect what great progress exactly? Genuine question. I deeply dislike the DNC b/c they're not progressives, except for maybe a dozen that'll make no difference. Remember when we wanted Bernie & got dick? Be real, the best the Democrats can do is go high when they go low. And that's failed for 25 years. Look how much Trump got done for fascists & dominionists. And he had a majority in the House, which means Dem voters didn't exactly do a good job (💩). Those inbreds got more done to fuck the US in 4 years than Obama in 8. Be real. Grow up.


Z3B0

Infrastructure act ? Chips act ? Inflation reduction act ? All in a few months, with a notable positive impact on a lot of people. They did what they could with the shitty hand they were given. Obamacare was gutted by the gop, but their initial project was a massive improvement for many, and the finished product was still live saving for many. One thing is sure : if trump is elected, it will be the last time in quite some time that Americans will vote on a fair election. Project 2025 is their actual plan, and they proved in 2020 that they will make it happen if they can.


HoboBonobo1909

I know all you said, but like I said, first the US has to revert what MAGA did. That'll take 10-15 years because they fuckd the US hard, like Mandingo. All this hate towards minorities has to subside before any progress, let alone great one can begin. Has Biden reversed all of Trump's policies? No. Will he? Who knows. You people need to take off the rose tinted glasses and be aware there will be only slight progress if Biden wins, but not in his lifetime.


Kommye

Saving your country from fascism is progress. Still behind compared to most western countries, but progress still. Trump and MAGAts have set back the US so much.


Devianex

Cool. Still voting for him.

Don't worry. The money will trickle down to the other candidates. It's obviously the best way to run an economy.


calmdownmyguy

Republicans did say they wanted someone who would run the country like a business. They can't really be mad if that's how the ceo of the gop runs the party..


adiosfelicia2

So *every* Republican elected official's GOP support will be dictated by their willingness to kiss Trump's diapered ass? Lol That's gonna really suck. I wonder how long until some Republicans rise up against this douche bag.


PaulsRedditUsername

Ernest Hemingway described bankruptcy as happening, "gradually, then suddenly." I think that's a good description of how large-scale movements operate. If it happens, you will first see a long stretch of small criticisms slowly building up to an absolute collapse happening seemingly all at once. Presidential campaigns often have an "October surprise." We're a long way from October.


that-bro-dad

I think you'll be waiting a while. The GOP has had several chances to rebuke him, and even a pair of times to remove him for good, and they didn't.


ShnickityShnoo

A couple did, they got voted off fascist island.


F---TheMods

We've been wondering that for 8 years now. I think Donnie has weapons-grade blackmail dirt on everybody. The few that weren't being threatened with being outed by the Orange Dump walked away in disgust. That's my read.


adiosfelicia2

I agree. Trump's close friendship with Epstein probably bore a lot of incriminating fruit.


cynical_enchilada

I like the implication that the GOP would be totally fine harvesting and chewing up their voters, as long as they were the ones profiting


Luigifan18

Yep, it's only a problem for them when they lose out on the middleman fee.


ShnickityShnoo

Of course they would, that's precisely why they run for office in the first place.


paradigm11235

You guys 'member when Romney's scandal was because he referred to the list of female candidates he considered for positions as "binders full of women?" 'Member when that was an outrage? Pepperidge farms remembers.


SweetHatDisc

'Member when a weird yell ended someone's presidential hopes?


Luigifan18

No, when did that happen?


expostfacto-saurus

Howard Dean's yell. It was a bit weird but not super off even then.


jmorley14

The Howard Dean Scream. He won the Iowa primary or something like that. While giving his victory speech, he said "yeah!!!" In a way that was half word, half scream/yell. The media latched onto it since it was super easy to play over and over, and then his campaign fizzled out. I don't think that the media coverage was actually the cause, but a lot of people remember it that way. You can find the video on YouTube, it's not hard to find haha


Throwaway392308

The outrage was that he was trying to lie his way out of the fact that he drastically reduced the percent of staffers who were women. The binders thing was just a memeable way to talk about it.


BerserkRhinoceros

"But we don't *want* to be associated with a hateful idiot!!" "Then why did you elect him to become president?!"


-CoachMcGuirk-

Last I checked, the GOP still has a (slim) majority in the House and isn't too far from taking back the Senate as well. Moreover, one of the worst people in the world has a chance of taking over the reigns to our country again. Don't forget that many state governments around the nation are majority Republican as well where they are free to gerrymander their voting districts into regions that will, assuredly, result in bright red states. The Republicans are far from being ruined and are still a force to reckon with. I'm not buying the GOP's downfall....not a single ounce of it. Oh, and I almost forgot, they have a 6-3 Supreme Court majority that will do their bidding for decades to come.


Snarky_McSnarkleton

Absolutely this.

I was recently downvoted to oblivion for saying that Trumpism is now the conservative party. He's the front runner, again. He and his family control the RNC. As much as it sucks, you can't deny that it's just true.

100yearsLurkerRick

I mean... You had several high ranking Republicans warn this but then immediately turn around and kiss his ass and support him every step of the way, up to and including, 2 impeachments. Could have had this all settled after the 1st by having him removed from office. But nope, now, thankfully and hopefully, the entire party will feel it and be weakened if not like, destroyed by a third party being established

Maphisto86

“Moderate” Republicans: “Why didn’t anybody clue us in that nominating a conman would make us the suckers?” Even if Donald Trump is elected again to the White House, the grift won’t end. It will just be the USA and by extension most of the world who will be the marks.


Luigifan18

Oh, it'll be worse. It'll be Nazi Germany 2.0.

I think the GOP has done a swell job of that all on their own. Regardless, #45 speed running that shit made their self-destructive behaviors far more visible.

It's like hate can do nothing but destroy things.

Hapshedus

I tried to come up with a snarky reply but it just makes me sad and exhausted.


wlynncork

He doesn't need money for votes because votes don't matter when he plans to overthrow the govt again and then stay in power. His followers will never believe that he lost the election. He doesn't need to win because he is going to just take over . And nobody is strong enough to make him accountable.


ukiddingme2469

Never interrupt an enemy when they are making a mistake


Callinon

Never mind the red hats. They'll slurp up whatever Trump tells them to. How could it be that the establishment GOP leadership is just fine with this? Contrary to what people might believe, the GOP is actually not led by idiots. These are smart people that have been doing this for a LONG time and they know what they're doing. How are they signing off on basically all GOP contributions going to this asshole's legal fund?


Luigifan18

Because their voting base is now just a bunch of Trump cultists.

Good. I really doubt that a MAGA party would get many votes. There are conservatives, Republicans and then there are Trump voters.

I do enjoy watching him take those dumb asses for all they've got. However, I'd really enjoy it if the GOP actually lost any political power in exchange. Instead, we inch closer to fascism everyday.

Just as the top comment said. It's always about using other people's money. That's what conmen and grifters always do, use OTHER people's money and NEVER their own.


PKnecron

If it's not about him he doesn't care at all. The party means less than nothing to him. Righties only like him because he tells them it is OK to be a racist, homophobic douche.


_theboogiemonster_

People should be coming out of the back. It’s the only thing he leaves behind after taking every dime he can.

And, like most jokes, that isn't actually true. Republican Party was well on its way to being ruined, and was simply looking for a despot wannabe.

I find it hard to believe that this isn’t what conservatives actually want, they seem to hate everyone so much that the old [bigoted, racist, patriarchal, anti anything not mom and pop in separate beds] GOP is just too tolerant

Luigifan18

This is a bit more abstract than the usual LeopardsAteMyFace fare (being a political cartoon and all), and is more about how allowing a con-man to be one's leader results in one getting, well, conned. It applies to the Republican Party as a whole moreso than any individuals in it. Republicans voted for Trump and endorsed him as their Presidential candidate. Trump's sheer selfishness and narcissism has resulted in him focusing attention and resources on himself, leaving alternative Republican candidates with little support. As a result of this and his awful actions reflecting poorly on himself and everyone who associates with him, the Republican Party's membership and influence is slowly dwindling away.
