The Slang Expression "Eight-Six" means to "Remove" or "Eject," and Trump (R) is the 47th President of the U.S. But History says, Restaurant Workers, for example, say that they need to "eight-six" an Order, means Cancel the Order. Or a Bar might "Eighty-Six" a Customer who has had Too much to Drink.
The most common Origin Story involves Chumley's, a Prohibition-era Bar at 86 Barrow Street in New York's West Village. The Bar had Two Entrances, One on Barrow and another via Bedford, and '86' referred to the Address of the Door from which Intoxicated or Unruly Guests would be Ejected.
A different Version of the Story says that when the Cops would very kindly call Ahead before a Prohibition-era Raid, they'd tell the Bartender to 86 Customers, meaning they should Exit via the 86 Bedford Door' while Cops came in through the Barrow Street Entrance.
The number 86 has also been used by Republicans calling for the Impeachment of Joe Biden. For example, Hats and T-Shirts sold on Amazon had 8646, indicating a Call to Impeach Biden, the 46th President. Some Liberals are accusing the Right of Deliberately Misunderstanding Comey's intent to Score Political Points.
