In what turned out to be a more exciting Thursday morning than anyone could’ve ever expected, a tweet was posted from the official McDonald’s Twitter account mocking both President Trump’s presidency and, well, tiny hands.
The tweet is now deleted but lives on thanks to the modern-day habit of screenshotting anything that might be needed for later use. See also: receipts.
Twitter is going wild with responses to the tweet as shown below.

The tweet was pinned to the McDonald’s corporate account. Shortly after, McDonald’s spoke out, saying that the profile had been compromised by some sort of hack.
Twitter notified us that our account was compromised. We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now investigating this.

As usual, the people of Twitter have other theories.
but yeah, those damn hackers are a right nuisance pic.twitter.com/e8VrwsN4h8

They’re also offering the purchase of nuggets in exchange for the tweet to be put back up.
I'll buy 100 McNuggets right now if you put the tweet back up.

One question: What would President Trump have to say about his old McDonald’s commercial now?
