Enormous etchings of numbers interpreted as threat to Trump appear on National Mall

Police respond to what appears to be the anti-Trump message “86 47″ etched into the grass near the World War II Memorial.

U.S. Park Police, the D.C. fire department and members of the National Guard were seen responding Thursday to what appeared to be large-scale etchings of the numerals “86 47” on the ‌grounds of the National ‌Mall.

The numerals 8, 6 and 7 were visible, but the 4 wasn’t clearly etched into the grass. It remains unclear how the markings were made. The term “86” is restaurant industry slang that generally refers to the unavailability of an item or a customer’s removal. Trump allies have argued it can also mean to kill someone. Trump is the 47th president of the United States, so the digits have been used to show opposition to Trump and have been seen by some as a threat against him.

[Cheezoholic]

2. Hey MAGA, your crop circle aliens have spoken!! ;) n/t

[wcmagumba]

3. OMG, they sent the PoPo, NG and FD to respond to non-burning patches of grass. What stupidity of those in charge...

Major kissing of the orange demon's behind...

4. Looks like a bunch of well trained puppies are making their opinions known.

7. Looks like a...

Very faint '8'.

[City Lights]

9. "8" is a very scary number to some snowflakes!

Apparently.

[Kid Berwyn]

10. Try staring off to the side a bit.

...that way you can use more of the retina to better make out the letters. The middle is a "blank" as that is where the optic nerve connects to the back of the eyeball.



I also can't see the outlines while looking directly, but they do appear very faintly when I turn my gaze just to the side of the number 8 and 4. Look directly, no can see. Look to the side, you might see something.

Our eyes are amazing instruments. Most can see 10 million, but some can see over 100 million different shades of colors. I know this orange traitor turd in Washington who can only see green.

[FakeNoose]

24. I see little white dots for the "6" to the right of the "8"

However I can't make out anything for the "47."

Maybe it's something that kills the grass slowly ... and maybe the grass is dying slower than they planned?

[GiqueCee]

17. And an even fainter 6...

... but it's there. "47" is not visible, at least not to me.

[2naSalit]

22. I don't see the '6'.

It's not that important, really.

[LeftInTX]

14. Crop circles...

[paleotn]

18. My exact thought on seeing it.

They were scared away by some grounds keepers before they could finish.

[TheRickles]

39. Yep, and Disclosure Day shows how it's done. (sort of)

(starts at 0:33)

&t=33s

[PATRICK]

16. When Trump needs to

check his pin number for....?

[niyad]

34. JFC, the "threat" is barely visible, even to my eyes.

And, oncee aagain, fuckheads, "86" means to invite aa troublesome guest to leave, either for a specified period of time, or never come back.

[LymphocyteLover]

40. has a crop circle look-- message from aliens?

[2naSalit]

6. Requires sign in or email to see it.

Anybody have pictures?

[niyad]

35. post 10

[twodogsbarking]

8. A little fertilizer in the right places and you can write most anything.

[Karasu]

11. These fascists really, really want to believe that "remove" and "kill" mean the same thing. When they very obviously

don't.

[chowder66]

12. All I see is a backwards B.

[littlemissmartypants]

13. Even the grass hates him.

[ToxMarz]

15. The aliens have moved on from crop circles?

[AZ8theist]

19. The treasonous, lying sack of shit fundraised on "8646" merch when it was running against Biden.

And NOBODY cried "HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!"

What a fucking snowflake. Trump is a fucking COWARD!!

[Karasu]

20. Yep. This needs to come up EVERY SINGLE TIME they start screeching about this shit.

[OGBuzz]

23. He is a magnificent example of manhood and I am shocked and disappointed that Donald won't

enter the ring on Sunday to show those UFC punks a thing or two.

[state of stupid]

37. Are you effing kidding me, MR ADVANCE TO THE REAR standing to hold the high ground from one

girl scout selling cookies, surely you jest or are you pulling my leg forcefully in some sort of
Psychological Operation. Donald Trump ENTERING A RING OF CHAMPIONS of MANHOOD!!!
Please tell me this is a joke that is too sophisticated for me to understand. Sadly, when I look
at FAT ELVIS in a size 90 (me being nice), do you really want to be bored to death watching a
Larda$$ MOFO trying to eat a brownie.

[OGBuzz]

43. Yes it's a joke but I would still love to see him get his ass beat. I would even buy a

Paramount+ subscription just to see it happen on Sunday.

[Fil1957]

21. So our tax dollars are being spent to investigate this shit? Markings on a lawn?

[Blumancru]

25. This reminds me of something I did as a kid

I suppose the statute of limitations has passed by now, it has been 60 years. While walking home from the ball field, tossing a ball in the air and catching it, my baseball went in the yard of an old cranky fart. When I went in his yard to get it, he came out screaming at me and shaking his fist! I was terrified and ran all the way home.
Came back later with weed killer. Made sure he was not home and wrote a word that rhymed with truck in letters six feet high on his lawn. Got out of Dodge quickly. For a day or two there was nothing unusual. Then it appeared. It was at a busy intersection, and most of the town saw it.
I think my dad suspected I was involved but thought it was funny.
Anyway, we now know that this gets under his skin. America, you have your marching orders!

[J-9]

26. It looks like

A color blind test.

[chouchou]

27. Wonder if industrial Lasers ?

[JoseBalow]

28. Salt kills grass

[mjvpi]

29. James Comey took Ambian and did it in his sleep.

[ChazInAz]

30. Kraznov trying some new material?

A bit of variety instead of the usual "assassination attempts"?

[IronLionZion]

31. It was aliens

send the space force into outer space to get em

[Botany]

32. Round Up and a squirt gun and you can write anything on turf.

Just wear a hoody, a ball cap, discard all that stuff right afterwards,
and don’t get into a vehicle either.

[Aussie105]

33. 86 47

Gets my full approval.

A+ for originality, C- for running out of weedkiller.

[LudwigPastorius]

36. Kash Patel announced that a person of interest has been detained.

He appears to be a foreign national, whose only response when questioned was, "Feed your lawn. FEED IT!!".

[electric_blue68]

38. I can see the 8 clearly. Sort of he 6. Barely some of the 4. And a bit better the 7.

Funny, showed up better w dark room and low phone light.low

[Blumancru]

41. I think this is being misinterpreted

I believe that the 8 is really the symbol for infinity. Someone is saying they want him to have an infinite number of terms! LOL

Note to whoever did this: Next time, bring enough weed killer or whatever to finish the job!

[The Wizard]

42. The term 86

goes back to a time when whiskey was 86 proof. If a patron was drunk the bartender would flag them as 86 and refuse to serve them any more alcohol.

[Blumancru]

44. In that case, I can think of several cabinet members

who they should have stopped serving and called an Uber for a long time ago.
