McDonald's Tweet to Trump: "You are Disgusting Excuse of a President"
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, the fast-food giant Mc Donald's briefly
appeared to take on President Donald Trump Thursday, when the corporate
account tweeted out, "@real Donald Trump You are actually a disgusting
excuse of a President and we would love to have @Barack Obama back, also
you have tiny hands." The tweet was swiftly deleted within 20 minutes,
and Mc Donald's later apologized, claiming its account had been hacked.
Mc Donald's head of global communications, Robert Gibbs, previously
worked as President Obama's press secretary.
