Donald Trump is hopping mad after someone apparently hacked into his Twitter account on Thursday.

The hacker tweeted out a lyric by rapper Lil Wayne to Trump’s more than two million followers.

The tweet was quickly deleted, but not before loads of screenshots were snapped.

It’s been a week of beef from hackers on the social media account. While many an employee were snoozing late on President’s Day, a hacker took over Burger King’sTwitter account and changed the avatar to read “McDonalds.”

Trump regained control of his account much quicker than the 90 minutes it took before Twitter shut down the hacked Burger King account. Trump tweeted about the incident, saying:

“Twitter will soon be irrelevant if lowlifes are so easily able to hack into accounts.” [PRO TIP: Pick a good password and change it frequently!]

Trump’s spokesman tells CNN authorities are investigating, and Trump said on Twitter that there was search on to find the perpetrators.

Twitter users smartly offered a number of suggestions for finding the hackers, like locating their birth certificates.
