The official Twitter account of fast food chain McDonald’s was hacked on 16 March, with the handle tweeting against US President Donald Trump.

The now-deleted tweet, called Trump a “disgusting excuse of a President”.

The tweet was deleted later, but not before a generous round of screenshots!

Later in the day, McDonald’s tweeted a clarification saying that the account was hacked and that an investigation is underway.

Twitter Goes Nuts!

Tweeple had quite a lot to say. While some were enraged at the tweet against their President, others spotted the humour in the situation.
