Emergency workers swarmed the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday to investigate massive numbers etched into the grass that appeared to spell out an \u201c86 47\u201d message.<\/p>\n

U.S. Park Police, the Washington, D.C. Fire Department, and the National Guard responded to the appearance of the numbers, which could only be read from a distant height, such as the top of the Washington Monument, according to The Washington Post. A large \u201c8\u201d can distinctly be seen from an Earth Cam atop the structure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe numerals 8, 6 and 7 were visible, but the 4 wasn\u2019t clearly etched into the grass,\u201d the Post reported. \u201cIt remains unclear how the markings were made. The term \u201986\u2019 is restaurant industry slang that generally refers to the unavailability of an item or a customer\u2019s removal. Trump allies have argued it can also mean to kill someone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump is the 47th president.<\/p>\n

In its indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, the Trump Justice Department suggested that the term \u201c86 47\u201d could be interpreted as intent to harm President Trump.<\/p>\n

On the ground, the numbers only appeared as brownish patches in the grass, possibly made with weed-killer or physical damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cMultiple emergency vehicles could be seen encircling the grass around 1 p.m. A team ofofficers stood over brown patches in the grass, wearing gloves, and appeared to be testing the grass with materials from a yellow case,\u201d the Post reported. \u201cPedestrians were not permitted to walk on the grass, and a Park Service helicopter circled overhead.\u201d<\/p>\n

A White House spokesperson in an email to the Post said, \u201cAnyone who engages in or endorses political violence or assassination culture must be condemned in the harshest terms possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

They added: \u201cThey should also immediately seek psychiatric help to treat their severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has warped their brains and made them sick in the head.<\/p>\n

CBS News reported that an Interior Department spokesperson called it \u201cderanged vandalism\u201d that \u201cwill not be tolerated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAny threat against the President is taken very seriously by the Department, and our U.S. Park Police will investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n
