What does 8647 mean ?
8647 is designed to be a silent form of protest that is designed to signal opposition to President Donald Trump. It's actually a combination of two numbers that have different meanings. 86 is a number commonly used to mean something like "get rid of," and 47 is the number president that Trump is in his second term. He was also the 45th president, so those numbers get a little bit confusing.

8647 therefore means that the people who display it want to get rid of Trump, or make it so that he is no longer the president. The message is vague about how exactly these people want to do that, but it seems that the point is to signal that you don't want Trump to be in the White House. It's not a call for impeachment necessarily, or even an endorsement of some other candidate. It's just a signal of opposition.
