Someone at McDonalds took on a big enemy this morning when they tweeted this @realDonaldTrump:
“@realDonaldTrump You are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarackObama back, also you have tiny hands.”
The tweet went out at 9:16 a.m. and was pinned to the top of the McDonald’s (MCD) Twitter account page, before it was deleted about 20 minutes later.
McDonalds is claiming that their account was compromised, but has now been secured.
Via CNN:
“It’s unclear who sent the tweet slamming Trump, but about an hour later, McDonald’s tweeted: “Twitter notified us that our account was compromised. We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now investigating this.” McDonald’s spokeswoman Becca Hary confirmed that tweet’s veracity, sending the same statement to CNNTech via email.”
I think it’s worth noting that they didn’t actually disagree with the inflammatory tweet, or issue an apology for the content going out to their substantial fellowship.
No one is saying who hacked the account, or why the size of anyone’s hands is so important to him/her, but I doubt it’s on the forefront of their minds for no reason.
We await a response from McDonalds and hope that they intend to make this right. President Trump is an incredible friend to businesses and the free market, and corporations like this would do well to remember that.
