Breaking: Comey Posts Disturbing Photo — Trump Supporters Say It’s a Veiled Call for Assassination of POTUS
Washington, D.C. – Former FBI Director James Comey posted a chilling photo on Instagram at 21:08 UTC on May 15, 2025, showing the number “86” written with shells and stones on a beach, prompting Trump supporters to call it a veiled call for assassination. The post, viewed over 1.5 million times, has conservatives on X in an uproar: “Comey’s threatening Trump—lock him up now!”
The image, set against a sandy beach with waves in the distance, shows “86” prominently displayed, a term rooted in 1930s diner slang meaning to eliminate, later adopted by gangs and Antifa to signify killing, per nationalgangcenter.ojp.gov and dhs.gov. Comey’s history with Trump, including his 2017 firing over the Russia investigation, fuels the outrage, as Trump called it a “great day for America.” The post comes amid heightened security concerns for Trump, with a 20% increase in Secret Service funding in 2025 after two apparent assassination attempts in 2024, per whitehouse.gov.
Conservatives are demanding action. “Comey’s ‘86’ is a clear threat—Trump’s not safe!” wrote one user on X. Another added, “This is why Trump’s cracking down—Comey’s part of the deep state!” The political climate is tense, with a 2024 Gallup poll showing 72% of Americans support tougher protest policing, reflecting sensitivity to such threats. Comey’s past social media controversies, like his 2019 op-ed on Confederate statues, add to the scrutiny, per en.wikipedia.org.

Top White House official Taylor Budowich says the threat by James Comey is “being taken seriously”
As Trump continues his Mideast tour, securing a $100 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia, his administration’s achievements—88,763 deportations since January and a 99% drop in illegal border crossings—stand in stark contrast to Comey’s provocative act. The image of “86” on the beach, with its ominous implications, underscores the need for Trump’s leadership to ensure his safety, proving once again that only he can navigate America through such turbulent times.
