Meeting a presidential candidate is the opportunity of a lifetime -- unless you're the Princess of Flint.

On Wednesday, Donald Trump made a trip to Flint, Michigan, where he met 9-year-old Amariyanna Copeny, otherwise known as Little Miss Flint. Copeny came out to greet the candidate at Bethel United Methodist Church, and immediately feared for her life.

Sometimes, the picture says it all.

While Little Miss Flint could be accused of being biased against the candidate, Copeny's mother encouraged her to keep an open mind.

"Hillary's been here, we heard what she had to say. Now I want to hear what (Trump) has to say," LuLu Brezzell, Copeney's mother, told M Live.

Her family has struggled with lead exposure at their Flint home, Brezzell told M Live. Brezzell said she was interested in hearing how the candidate planned to resolve the crisis if elected.

This is what Little Miss Flint thought of his response, compared to what she thought of President Obama when he visited earlier this year.
