‘Is McDonalds In the Resistance?’: Twitter Has Field Day Over Fast Food Chain’s Anti-Trump Tweet
America has now reached the President Trump vs. McDonalds stage of our national landscape, and the Twitterverse is having a blast over it.
Earlier today, McDonalds’ Twitter account posted a tweet — and pinned it — with quite the disapproving message for the Commander in Chief.
The tweet has been deleted, but screenshots live forever, so the Internet did the thing it does:

I know you’re gonna fire whoever did this, @McDonaldsCorp, but really you should be giving them a raise. pic.twitter.com/wXoTiXU3U4
