- 'Deranged message' on National Mall sparks police probe as Trump security fears mount
A '8647' message etched into the grass on Washington, D.C.'s National Mall prompted a police investigation, with authorities interpreting the numbers as a potential threat against Trump. The Interior Department and White House condemned the act, linking '86' to removal in restaurant slang and '47' to Trump as the 47th president. The incident follows previous '86 47' threats and occurs amid heightened security due to Trump's history of targeted violence.
