A picture of Donald Trump and "Little Miss Flint" has people on the internet talking.

Amariyanna Copeny, aka Little Miss Flint, and her mother Lulu Brezzell attended Trump's visit to Bethel United Methodist Church in Flint on Wednesday.

Brezzell took the picture of her daughter's encounter with Trump where the Republican presidential candidate is smiling and appears happy, while Amariyanna doesn't.

This photo is being compared to photos from this past May where Little Miss Flint is smiling and hugging Barack Obama during his visit to Flint to speak on the ongoing water crisis.

Buzzfeed, Mic.com, The Metro Times and others have published stories on the picture while Twitter has kept the comical photo circulating.

Roberto Acosta of MLive reports that Brezzell attended the speech to hear Trump's plans to help Flint recover from the water crisis.

Brezzell and her daughter heard Hilary Clinton speak on the issue when the Democratic presidential candidate came to Michigan in January.

More from MLive:

"Hillary's been here, we heard what she had to say. Now I want to hear what (Trump) has to say," said Brezzell, adding her family has dealt with high lead levels at home and rashes.
