This isn’t good. McDonald’s corporate Twitter account just insulted President Trump in a big way:
According to Sean Davis the tweet was quickly deleted, but not before a lot of people saw it:
Aaaand it's deleted. Sorry, @McDonaldsCorp. The Internet is forever. pic.twitter.com/WwlRO4bL5h

Mayor McCheese will shortly issue an apology.

Of course a lot of libs are celebrating the tweet. I expect McDonald’s to issue an apology soon…
UPDATE: McDonald’s says their account was compromised:
Twitter notified us that our account was compromised. We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now investigating this.

In this day and age of Twitter accounts and websites getting hacked, that seems plausible. But it’s also been used by some as an excuse when it wasn’t true. So who knows…
