Trump Assassination Gear on Amazon? Trump Allies Erupt Over ‘8647’ Caps on Amazon After Comey’s Post

A firestorm erupts after former FBI Director James Comey's beach photo featuring “8647” seashells goes viral. Trump allies claim the numbers are a coded call to assassinate Donald Trump — with “86” meaning “to kill” and “47” referencing Trump as the 47th president. Conservative activist Laura Loomer slams Amazon and Jeff Bezos for selling “8647”-branded caps, calling them “assassination gear.” Comey denies the allegations, but MAGA influencers aren’t buying it. #JamesComey #JamesComey8647 #DonaldTrump #Trump8647 #8647Comey #ComeyTrump #TrumpVsComey #PresidentTrump #JamesComeyPost #Trump47thPresident #8647Controversy #ComeyInstagramPost #TrumpNews #ComeyFBI #8647Meaning Also Read Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Takes Another Jab At Taylor Swift, Claims She's ‘No Longer Hot’ After His Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-takes-another-jab-at-taylor-swift-claims-shes-no-longer-hot-after-his-criticism-4156725.html?ref=DMDesc Who Stands To Lose If Apple Moves iPhone Manufacturing Unit From India To US & How Much Will iPhone Cost Then? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/who-stands-to-lose-if-apple-moves-iphone-manufacturing-from-india-to-us-how-much-will-iphone-cost-4155861.html?ref=DMDesc
