Given the "girl bye" reception her departure announcement received last month, it seems pretty certain that Meghan McCain is at the top of the list of least popular The View hosts of all time.
It would be hard to come up with a replacement for McCain who could possibly irk the internet as much as she did, but by golly, eldest failson of former Republican President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., just might have done it.
In a tweet, seen below, Trump Jr. suggested his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle take over McCain's spot, and that sound you hear is the entire internet screaming "LOL ABSOLUTELY NOT."
As always, rumors are swirling about behind-the-scenes drama at The View, this time because the show is supposedly scrambling to find a fittingly conservative replacement for McCain, whose tenure on the show concludes at the end of the month.
Traditionally at least one seat on The View's panel has been held by a conservative Republican. And according to the rumor mill, the shortlist for McCain's seat comprises a list of very conservative conservatives, including Guilfoyle and fellow right-wing nightmares Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens.
So Trump Jr. tagged ABC, the network that produces and airs The View, and did that good old-fashioned "Haha I'm totally making fun of this unless you're actually serious in which case I'm not joking about this haha" thing, throwing out his endorsement of Guilfoyle for the job.
He tweeted:
"LOL, hey @ABC even I'd tune in to see @kimguilfoyle do this. Kim vs the other 4 doesn't seem like a fair fight though. You may need a few more libs."
Oh wow, sick burn on the libs, Jr., good work.
Anyway, if the thought of Don Jr.'s unhinged girlfriend having a standing engagement on live television every day of every week horrifies you to your very core, you're not alone.
Twitter dragged Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle to absolute filth for the mere suggestion.
Jr. appeared to have forgotten the reception he and Guilfoyle received from The View audience.
Perhaps Jr.'s significant other might not be the best choice after all.
