What's the best way to start a rainy, cold, and - let's be honest - down right miserable morning? We know, with a brilliant joke!
What's an even better way to start a rainy, cold, and down right miserable morning? With a brilliant joke at Donald Trump's expense!
Well, you're in for a treat.
Taking to Twitter, this 7th grade teacher, Evelyn Lizette, from California, shared the answer to a test that one of her 'smart' pupils gave her.

But her response was quite frankly fire.
@DawnCline @antonigrafica @realDonaldTrump I don't suppress students right to free speech. No teacher should. Now, shoo.— 𝐵𝑒𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝐵𝑜𝑜𝓅 🌿 (@𝐵𝑒𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝐵𝑜𝑜𝓅 🌿) 1539650244
She then stressed again that she's not in the business of censoring her students' freedom of speech.
