To ‘86’ someone means to throw them out or get rid of them. Donald Trump is the 45th president, so 8645 means to get rid of him. Those four digits were shown on a pin by Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer last month. Very likely that eventually will be the end result from our election. But for another seventy days we will get a stream of lies and lawsuits.

 

An article by Ron Blitzer at Fox News described an interview on November 3, 2020 - Trump, on ‘Fox & Friends,’ claims ‘solid chance of winning,’ won’t ‘play games’ in declaring victory. But early the next morning he of course said: “Frankly we did win this election,” as is described in a Snopes fact check. But on November 1, 2020 at Axios an article by Jonathan Swan already had headlined Scoop: Trump’s plan to declare premature victory.

 

On November 6, 2020 at CNN Politics there is an article by Daniel Dale titled Fact check: Donald Trump delivers most dishonest speech of his presidency as Joe Biden closes in on victory. In that November 5, 2020 speech he similarly said:

“If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us. If you count the votes that came in late — we’re looking at them very strongly. But a lot of votes came in late.”

 

On Nov 7, 2020 Trump tweeted that: “I won this election by a lot!” In a longer statement (ignoring that he had no certified results either), he whined that:

“Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.”
