McDonald’s just called President Donald Trump “a disgusting excuse of a president” on Twitter, and said they “would love to have @BarackObama back.”
The tweet, which also accused Trump of having “tiny hands,” was briefly pinned to the top of McDonald's corporate account page. It has since been deleted.
The company later announced that Twitter had notified them that their account had been compromised.
