Donald Trump accused former FBI director James Comey of calling for his assassination in a coded social media post written in seashells. Comey’s Instagram post, which featured seashells arranged to spell the numbers 8647, was misinterpreted by rightwing supporters of Trump as a call to assassinate the US president. The Secret Service confirmed it has launched an investigation, as the number 86 is common slang for stopping or getting rid of something, and 47 could be understood to indicate Trump, the 47th president.
