McDonald's' in a tweet on its corporate account called President Trump "a disgusting excuse of a President" on Thursday morning.
The tweet, which was briefly pinned to the top of the account before being deleted, mocked Trump and called for the return of former President Obama.
"@realDonaldTrump You are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarackObama back, also you have tiny hands," the tweet read.

I have been to some McDonald’s where the floors were not swept from the previous night. The place was disgustingly dirty. Why would anyone want to eat there?
Maybe they should work on cleaning up their franchises instead of getting political.
I agree, it just sounds fake.
Their employees “no nabla Ingles”. Is that the problem?
No way in Hell McDonald’s did this.
I’m sending a link to this to one of my friends. He started out a poor kid flipping burgers and now owns three stores. Politically he makes me look liberal. He should have a heads up in case some customer believes this.
McDonald’s did not tweet this. Some idiot was signed into the account and sent it thinking it was his personal account.
He still needs to be fired.
I don’t believe it. McDonalds needs to publicly apologize.
Btw, The Founder was basically an anti-capitalist movie. I guess McDonalds is yet another NWO company. How long before they have transgender bathrooms as well?
McDonalds did not officially tweet this. Their account was hacked. Having said that, McDonald’s is going down the toilet for a reason — their food.
I do not believe that this gratuitous tweet came from a reliable source. Whatever McDonald executives think about Pres Trump, they are not going to seriously harm their business by being this stupid. Lots of franchise owners will suffer if corporate does not immediately clear up the perception that they do not need or welcome the thousands of Trump supports who do enjoy their food.
My sentiments also.
This obviously wasn’t authorized by McDonald’s management. Either some soon-to-be-fired employee with access to their corporate Twitter account decided to be cute, or (far less likely) their account was hacked.
Why would one insult their own customers, especially lifetime loyal ones? Why alienate half the populace? Makes no sense. None whatsoever.
Did you mean “not” putting out a retraction?
They issued a public tweet stating they were indeed hacked and are investigating.
sounds like a hack to me...
Well McDonalds has a Director of Global Communications and his name is...wait for it...Robert Gibbs.
Yes THAT Robert Gibbs,,former Press Sec to Obama (before Carney).
Now it makes sense doesn’t it?

Weak statement by McDonald’s. They need to say the sentiments expressed are not theirs and they are apolitical.
That level of stupid defies quantification.
It’s not just McDonalds. I’ve had similar experiences at Burglar King and Taco Smell.
