Digits '8645' were displayed in the background during an appearance on NBC's 'Meet the Press' Sunday

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has been accused of encouraging assassination attempts on President Trump after displaying “8645” in the background of a national television interview Sunday.

Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Democratic governor spoke from Lansing, Mich., about her state’s coronavirus restrictions and slammed Trump’s response to the pandemic, all while the digits “8645” in bubble letters were perched by a house plant on a coffee table behind her. The numbers prompted a reaction from one of the Trump campaign’s verified Twitter accounts.

“Governor Gretchen Whitmer displayed an '86 45' sign during her TV appearance,” Trump War Room tweeted, adding: “86 can be shorthand for killing someone.”

Is the Trump War Room part of the Trump Campaign?

“86” means to get rid of. Assassination is a stretch, a big one. Not that I give the slightest crap about this totalitarian baby murderer. But I prefer accuracy to hyperbole and don’t want to act like the RATs.

>> “86” is the classic term for permanently throwing someone out of a bar.

It generally means to dispatch something— furthermore, Trump doesn’t drink alcohol nor cause trouble at the taproom.

“I’ ll bet she is butthurt over the fact she wasnt picked as VP nominee, too”

She was just too toxic for a VP slot. A few blasts from the past.

1. She told people not to travel while her husband got busted going to their vacation home.

2. Told everybody to stay at home but blocked off the home improvement sections at the big box stores.

3. And the worst of all is her attempt to deep six Big Ten football this fall.

86 is not a vague term. If you get 86’d by your boss it means you were terminated with prejudice (cannot come back, usually a for cause termination). Since he has only served 1 term, the only way to 86 45 would be to kill him.

She is one nasty person.

And she’s involved deep in some kind of corruption and is following commands as issued.

Here in the Northwest, being "86ed" means being thrown out of a bar - either permanently or for an extended period of time - for bad behavior of some sort. I've heard the expression for decades. I do not know if it's a universal term, or a regional thing.

I thus interpret Whitmer's sign as meaning, "Throw Trump out," not "Assassinate Trump."

I agree, but some people seem to think that not wanting to be as ridiculous and conspiratorial as the RATs is the same as condoning or defending them.

This one, and those other 4 Soros-bought, POSs need to be arrested, tried and executed for mass murder and crimes against humanity for what they did to those innocent elderly in those nursing homes. It was outright deliberate murder and these POS should pay for it...big time.
