Getty ImagesSome people are claiming that this election could be a sign of the apocalypse, but others have taken a lighter view of the political process.
In an excellent bout of light relief from the heavy doomsayers some pranksters have taken over Donald Trump’s campaign website to post some lighthearted messages, reports Mashable.
The malicious hackers discovered that by simply editing the URL of the press release archive, users could make the header say literally anything.
An embarrassing lapse of cyber security in a campaign that has been dominated by accusations of Hillary Clinton’s own ineptitude over her email servers.
But enough serious politics, lets laugh at the weird messages that people decided to post:
