The Internet Brilliantly Responds to McDonald’s “Hacked” Anti-Trump Tweet

This morning, a rather unusual Tweet from a huge international company was directed at President Trump…

The Tweet came from the McDonald’s corporate account – which has been verified by Twitter – and has 151,000 followers.

It was deleted several minutes later, and an explanation from the company followed…

Twitter notified us that our account was compromised. We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now investigating this.

Some people loved the Tweet, some hated it, and some took the opportunity to let McDonald’s know their thoughts about the company overall…

@McDonaldsCorp Came here to retweet that deleted tweet.

We Were Lovin’ It.

@McDonaldsCorp Obama’s ex press secretary Robert Gibbs is YOUR “Global Chief Communications Officer.” So, your “hacking” story is BOGUS.

@McDonaldsCorp McDonalds was NOT hacked. Their Executive Vice President of Global Communications is none other than Robert Gibbs.

Some offered to buy loads of McNuggets in exchange for the Tweet being reposted…

This Tweet accurately summed up the entire debacle…

.@McDonaldsCorp Corporate espionage against fast food. Reality has become a satire of our promised dystopian future. https://t.co/mZyX1RqVaK
