Mysterious ‘86 47’ Markings on Washington’s National Mall Raise Threat Concerns for Trump
The numbers 86 47 were spotted etched into dying grass on the National Mall in Washington, DC. The timing—just before the former president’s 80th birthday and a nearby UFC event—has fueled suspicion. In hospitality slang, “86” can mean to eject or even kill, and Trump is the 47th president. Park Police are working with the Interior Department to investigate, collecting grass samples to find out who is responsible and how the markings were made. Federal authorities note that 86 47 has appeared before as an alleged warning against Trump. Earlier this year, former FBI director James Comey was questioned over a seashell message spelling out the same code. Merriam-Webster confirms “86” can imply “to kill,” though this sense remains rare and recent.
