“8647” Social Media Post Sparks Investigation Concerning Threat To Trump

James Comey, who used to be the FBI director before being let go by Donald Trump, is facing criticism for a mysterious post he made on social media. Some people are interpreting it as a hidden threat to the current president. The issue started when Comey posted a picture of seashells arranged in the shape of the number “8647” on Instagram, along with a caption saying, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.” Although he later deleted the post, screenshots have spread widely and sparked a strong backlash from Trump supporters, lawmakers, and former government officials.

He made another post to clarify his earlier message. “I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind, so I took the post down,” he explained on Instagram.

Donald Trump Jr. accused former FBI Director James Comey of “casually calling for my dad to be murdered.” This statement raised concerns, and the Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security are looking into the situation, with the FBI also offering assistance. Comey, who has often criticized Trump, later explained that he didn’t understand how an image he posted could be seen as a threat. He took it down and emphasized that he is against any form of violence.

Netizens also reacted to a recent picture shared by former FBI Director James Comey. One user pointed out that Comey posted a photo on Instagram just a couple of hours ago, captioning it, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.” The image features shells arranged to form the numbers “86 47,” which some interpreted as a secret call for violence against President Trump.

What does “8647” mean?

The number 86 is a slang term in the U.S. that means to “get rid of,” “remove,” or “kick out.” On the other hand, the number 47 might refer to the 47th President of the United States. This has led some people to speculate that “8647” could be interpreted as a threat to “eliminate” Trump.
