47

What does 47 stand for in politics?

President Donald Trump

47 is a shorthand way to refer to the 47th President of the United States (POTUS), Donald Trump. This nickname is especially popular on X (formerly "Twitter"), where users often shorten names and titles to save space. It follows a common pattern in which presidents are referred to by their numerical order, such as Joe Biden being called 46, Donald Trump previously being called 45, and Barack Obama as 44.

Some X users use "47" simply for brevity, while others prefer it to avoid mentioning Trump by name, much like how some refer to Biden as "46" instead of using his name. This numbering system is widely recognized in political discussions online, making it a quick and efficient way to reference past and current presidents.
