No I did not. Did South park have anything to do with this? If so, can you post links?

It's related to his outrageous tweets

"Days after the inauguration, a Belgian hacker who goes by the name Inti De Ceukelaire simply bought the nac2012.com domain and redirected it to the YouTube video, which he made himself.
Since then, he’s purchased three other expired URLs that Trump has tweeted over the years, and others have done the same.
Considering Trump’s penchant for tweeting links to dubious news sites, the hacker’s exploit raises questions about how easily Trump’s Twitter history could be manipulated over the coming four years."

Can someone explain to me how it's 'hacking'

Heh, thanks! Actually quite clever how he did it. Might just start doing it myself for shits and giggles. It's not really hacking though. Seems more like it was taking advantage of expired domains..
