If you haven't watched Sesame Street in a while, you might not be aware that the children's TV show has a thriving Twitter presence.
There is nothing better than helping friends achieve their goals. #MondayMotivation
There are even separate accounts for many of the characters.
Usually, the account just tweets about friendship and cookies and what's new on the Street, but on Wednesday, they sent out a rather....different sort of tweet. Observe:
Did you know that there’s a MONSTER on Twitter?
👀
And it didn't stop there. Grover joined in, in a full on tweetstorm.
Did that say there is a MONSTER on Twitter?
IT DID?
HEY, STOP RETWEETING ME SO I CAN LOG OFF OKAY? Because there is a MONSTER on Twitter! It is not safe!
Following the tweetstorm, Sesame Street tweeted that it was the 45th anniversary of The Monster at the End of This Book, a children's book about Grover, suggesting the tweets were in celebration of it.
But, people weren't so sure. Pretty much everyone immediately presumed it to be about Donald Trump.
@sesamestreet yeah, we just made him president. :(

No one could believe the "cutting political commentary" coming from the show.
