The name comes from a popular meme "Leopards Ate My Face" (LAMF) that originated from a 2015 tweet...
...which spawned the idea of people who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party because they promised lower taxes, but ending up having their face eaten by leopards. The party told them exactly what they were, but they acted surprised when they got what they voted for.
That tweet has spawned numerous memes, a song, at least one popular subReddit, and a ton of merch.
According to the LAMF subReddit's about section, the group focuses on:
"'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party. Revel in the schadenfreude anytime someone has a sad because they're suffering consequences from something they voted for or supported or wanted to impose on other people."
They even offer a handy guide to determine if a person is eligible for r/LeopardsAteMyFace.

A group member recently added a new post from Facebook, with the original poster's identity and information obscured as is common practice in the subReddit.

When the post went viral, MAGA minions claimed it was fake, as they have with other instances of Trump voters expressing regret. But the post was easily traced back to a woman named Trudy Jones.
Jones lamented to her Dear Leader about how his economic ineptitude was ruining her retirement.

At the beginning of November, Jones wrote:
"President Trump I voted for you but I am disappointed in you. You did as you said and secured the border, sending illegals back, they are welcome if they come here the legal way."
Apparently Jones either hasn't been paying attention to who ICE is abducting or doesn't care as long as her life remains unaffected by Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security's overreach and violations of the United States Constitution and basic human rights.
Jones continued with what does concern her, writing:
"That is about the only thing I am happy about. The price of gas is a joke, up and down weekly. And don’t get me started on the price of food, my grocery bill has doubled. What is going on?"
"My husband and I have worked hard, retired and feel like we cannot even enjoy our retirement. My power bill has doubled, something has to give. My retirement years should not be full of stress."
At the end, Jones concluded:
"Whether you are a democrat or republican politician you all suck! I have lost all my faith in politicians…"
On Facebook, her post garnered only three comments with the first agreeing that they dislike all politicians. The second and third offered their own takes on Trump.
One suggested he just needed to uphold "America First."

The other had a different view of their beloved Trump, calling him a habitual liar.

On Reddit, the folks at r/LeopardsAteMyFace were more in keeping with the latter rather than the former in their assessment of Trump's capabilities and Jones'—and other MAGA minions—ability to not vote against their own interests.

One Redditor summed up the core of MAGA discontent.

While Jones may not have gotten a lot of sympathy online, at least she's got a theme song to listen to.
Enjoy!
The shooting is one of at least 392 mass shootings reported in the U.S. so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. Monday was the 349th day of 2025. Authorities are currently searching for the shooter. A person of interest detained in connection with the attack was released late Sunday.
Trump initially claimed in a post on Truth Social that he was "briefed on the shooting" and that "the suspect is in custody." He also offered his condolences to the families of the victims.

19 minutes later, he "reversed" his initial statement—but did not delete his first post.

He even claimed to reporters that he'd been "fully briefed" and said people should "just pray" for the families affected by the shooting.
His misinformation prompted criticism from gun control activist Shannon Watts, who said Trump has the gall "to call the shooting a shame even though he opposes every effort to stop gun violence."
Smiley then held a press conference during which he urged people to only trust the updates of Providence officials:
"In this day and age, there is a lot of misinformation that can spread. As it pertains to official updates regarding the shelter-in-place or any future announcements, please follow the official city of Providence social media channels."
"We've also put out updates through our 311 system but the city of Providence on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram will be updating throughout the evening. If that did not come from an official channel then it is not official.
You can hear what he said in the video below.
Other social media users also urged people not to listen to the president, prompting many to criticize Trump's absence of leadership.
Trump—unrepentant as ever—is also facing criticism for claiming that famed film director Rob Reiner had “driven people CRAZY” with his "Trump Derangement Syndrome," referencing the late Reiner's vocal opposition to Trump's policies.
Reiner, 78, and his wife Michelle, 68, were murdered in their Brentwood, Los Angeles, home yesterday afternoon. Reiner's son, Nick, was taken into custody and held on a $4 million bail.
Despite acknowledging in a post on Truth Social that Reiner's murder is "a very sad thing," Trump claimed Reiner was killed "reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS."
Trump suggested Reiner's "paranoia" was "reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before."
Reiner considered Trump an authoritarian threat to democracy and endorsed former President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, which Trump falsely asserted was stolen from him. Trump's claims ultimately culminated in the storming of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters who acted on the false premise that the election was fraudulent.
