Someone at McDonald's posted a brave tweet today in which they called President Donald Trump a "disgusting excuse of a president".
The tweet, which was briefly pinned to the @McDonaldsCorp Twitter account, also stated "we would love to have @BarackObama back" before finishing with "you have tiny hands."
It was however deleted quickly.
We saw you McDonald's, we all saw you
At least @McDonalds was fun for a moment... pic.twitter.com/0q8TSEB8wr

Very disappointed in McDonalds for taking this down. Was really excited to see if Trump supporters were going to dare call for a boycott... pic.twitter.com/DYo5OvfKV3

Although, there was also fears raised for the future of their social media manager.
Feel like we should have some sort of $ tip jar for the now fired McDonald's social media manager who gave us a hearty laugh this morning

Best thing about the erroneous @mcdonaldscorp, is the mentions suggesting a pay rise for the social media manager. pic.twitter.com/srd1FTB4sv

Terri Hickey, McDonald’s US spokesperson said: “Twitter notified us that our account was compromised. We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now further investigating this.”
