McDonald’s may have just lost a customer in Donald Trump following a derogatory tweet slamming the President of the United States as “disgusting”. It also made fun of his small hands.
The tweet reads:
The fast food giant said its Twitter account was hacked and swiftly deleted the post.
It was re-tweeted nearly 200 times and pinned to McDonald's profile before someone realised the account had been compromised.
McDonald’s took to Twitter to dispute the tweet: “Twitter notified us that our account was compromised. We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now investigating this.”
Twitter notified us that our account was compromised. We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now investigating this.

This is not the first time a fast food brand has been hacked. Back in 2013, someone broke into Burger King's Twitter and changed its Twitter image to the McDonald's logo.
