He labeled the Instagram contribution: “Cool Shell formation on my beach walk.”

Some have interpreted the post as a threat and claims that 86 47 Mr. Trump, including the assassination, violently removed.

What does '86 47 'mean?

Number 86 can be used as a verb in the USA. It usually means “throwing someone out of a bar because it is drunk or disorganized”.

A recent meaning of the term is “killing”, according to the Merriam webster dictionary, which said that he had not adopted this meaning of 86 due to its relative repetition and sparse of use “.

The number was previously used in a political context by Matt Gaetz, which was President Donald Trump's election for Attorney General, but withdrawn from the consideration after a number of allegations of sexual misconduct.

Mr. Gaetz wrote: “We now have 86'd …” and listed political opponents with whom he was able to resign.

In the meantime, 47 is said to represent Mr. Trump, who is the 47th US president.

Mr. Comey later removed the post and said he thought the numbers were “a political message” and he did not know that the numerical agreement could be associated with violence.

“I have not noticed that some people associate these numbers by force. It never occurred to me, but I reject violence of all kinds, so I put down the post,” said Comey.

Mr. Trump rejected the explanation of the former FBI director and told Fox News: “He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant … that meant murder.”

Donald Trump JR Suspended Mr. Comey “casually that my father is murdered”.
