Summer internships can be tough. Whether it's a daunting work schedule or a demanding boss, every job has its own set of challenges and frustrations.
Just take it from this Capitol Hill intern who, uh, gave President Donald Trump a piece of her mind during the peak of the controversy surrounding the "zero tolerance" immigration policy, which mandated the separation of parents and children at the border between the US and Mexico, last week.
"Mr. President, f--k you!" Caitlin Marriott, 21, shouted when Trump passed her by.

Marriott is interning for Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and has been suspended for one week, according to the Daily Beast.
"We are aware of the situation and have taken disciplinary action, including a one-week suspension and revoking her congressional intern ID badge, thereby restricting her access to the Capitol, in response to her breach of office policies regarding respectful and appropriate conduct," Aaron Jacobs, Hassan's communications director, said in a statement.
Upon the completion of her suspension, the college student will be allowed to complete her internship.
