By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Giant markings of the numbers "8647" have appeared on the National Mall in Washington D.C., prompting an investigation by the US Park Police. Officials from the Department of the Interior condemned the act as "deranged vandalism" and a potential threat against President Donald Trump, as the numbers have been associated with opposition to him.
