Whoever did this should face the same charges as former FBI Director James Comey. The U.S. Park Police are currently investigating a threat against President Trump that was written inside the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The message written was “8647,” which is code for “take out” the 47th President. The Independent reported more on the vandalism: The U.S. Park Police launched an investigation Friday after a large display of graffiti was discovered at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which is currently undergoing a high-profile renovation. The National Park Service notified authorities of the vandalism at approximately 7:20 a.m., the Washington Examiner reported. The graffiti, which measured roughly 15 by 30 feet, featured the numbers “86 47” spray-painted onto the site. “The affected area has been secured and covered while cleanup is arranged,” a spokesperson for the U.S. Park Police told the outlet. The agency described the vandalism as “unacceptable” and stated that an active investigation was underway to hold those responsible accountable. In the service industry, the number “86” is common shorthand for removing an item from the menu. The sequence has been interpreted by some Republicans as a threat against Donald Trump, the 47th president. Graffiti has also been found on the outside fence of the reflecting pool: Now “86 47” graffiti found in the Lincoln Reflecting Pool, days after Pres. Trump assassination attempt. The shade of blue led to this hate? I saw this graffiti on the fence Tuesday. Trump signs had disappeared. One guard focused on his phone so I entered easily. pic.twitter.com/M2jSi30bTX — emily miller (@emilymiller) May 1, 2026 Currently, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is undergoing a makeover, and construction crews have been working around the clock to restore the widely visited historical site. AWESOME Workers are coating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool NOW at the request of President Trump saving us hundreds of millions of dollars compared to what it WOULD have cost American flag pic.twitter.com/RHEPe4D86R — BLT (@BLT21_) April 25, 2026 The 8647 threat found inside the reflecting pool comes just days after FBI Director James Comey turned himself in after being charged with threatening the life of President Trump after he posted a photo of the coded threat on his Instagram. MSN reported more on Comey’s arrest and the charges he faces: Former FBI Director James Comey surrendered to law enforcement after he was indicted for a second time by the Department of Justice, this time for allegedly threatening President Donald Trump’s life. Comey, 65, appeared in federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia on Wednesday, April 29. He was charged with making a threat against Trump, 79, and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce after photographing seashells on a beach in North Carolina. Both counts carry a combined maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. The shells in the image spelled out “86 47.” The Department of Justice argues the reference inferred that Comey wanted to “86,” or kill, the president. (86 is a slang term meaning to throw out, get rid of or eliminate something. Trump is currently serving as the 47th president of the United States.) Comey captioned the controversial image, “cool shell formation on my beach walk.” He later deleted the image the same day and issued an apology. “I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence,” Comey said at the time. “It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.” Trump, meanwhile, told Fox News that “a child knows that meant.” “If you’re the FBI director and you don’t know what that meant, that meant assassination,” he continued at the time. “And it says it loud and clear.” What’s your view?
