A fast-food restaurant chain seemed to challenge President Donald Trump to a Twitter war on Thursday morning before quickly walking it back, saying its account had been "compromised."

“@realDonaldTrump You are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarackObama back, also you have tiny hands,” the McDonald’s Twitter account posted at 9:16 a.m.

The missive was retweeted more than 1,000 times before it was deleted some minutes later, and a bit before 10:30 a.m., McDonald's followed up and tweeted that it was "investigating" the incident.

"Twitter notified us that our account was compromised," the restaurant posted. "We deleted the tweet, secured our account and are now investigating this."
