Okay, the McDonald’s anti-Trump tweet—”You are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarackObama back, also you have tiny hands”—seems to have been a hack job. McDonald’s, upon taking the insult down from Twitter after 20 minutes and more than 1,000 likes and retweets, tweeted the following: “Based on our investigation, we have determined that our Twitter account was hacked by an external source.”
But what was interesting was that it was a hack job that was almost plausible as an official corporate stance toward the 45th president. Gizmodo‘s William Turton exulted: “For one glorious tweet McDonald’s was woke.”
