This Girl Had Very Different Reactions to Meeting Obama and Trump

Amariyanna "Mari" Copeny, the current "Little Miss Flint," could not have reacted more differently to the President and His Orangeness.

Donald Trump has been in the news quite a bit over the past year, arguably not for necessarily "positive" reasons. For instance, here's a list of Trump slams from the Democratic National Convention. 

Mari Copeny made headlines earlier this year when she wrote a heartfelt letter to President Obama telling him what she's doing to support her community dealing with the after-effects of the Flint water crisis. Obama responded by going to Flint and paying Mari a personal visit. Super touching right?

Then this happened. Donald Trump paid a visit to Flint, Michigan on Wednesday and also met with Little Miss Flint.

  • Needless to say, people noticed a bit of a difference in Mari's reaction to meeting the Republican presidential candidate. Twitter users had a lot to say about the photo.

  • Mari seemed a little more at ease about meeting Mr. Trump in this video, so maybe that was just a super terrible photo. But either way, Little Miss Flint's reaction isn't doing Trump any PR favors.
