Out of the loop. What is this about?
So I learned today that, supposedly, 86 is a really old code:
According to Merriam-Webster, “86” is used as a colloquial term meaning “to throw out,” “to get rid of,” or “to refuse service to.”
As for 47, that'd be Trump, the 47th POTUS. So, in essence, and despite debate on its actual intended meaning in this context, it could be perceived as "take out" "the 47th" - 86 47.
And in the case of the meme 48 suggests that trump believes himself to be the next president
You only get a new number oyf you don't have consecutive terms
