Meghan McCain is responding to President Donald Trump's insult five years later, in which he doubted her television career potential.

Before joining "The View" in 2017, McCain worked at Fox News as a contributor, eventually co-hosting the afternoon talk show "Outnumbered." After she appeared on Fox's weekday opinion program"The Five" in 2015, Trump criticized the daughter of late senator John McCain on social media, stating that "she will never make it" on TV.

He also urged Fox News to "do so much better."

The 35-year-old TV host responded to the president's 2015tweet on Sunday, re-posting a screenshot of the old post after it resurfaced on an Instagram page called "Tweets That Don't Age Well."

"I forgot Trump even did this," she wrote."I think Im doing okay with the old tv career... fun fact,@theviewabcwon best daytime talk show Emmy while I have been one of the cohosts this year, Trump and The Apprentice never won one, ever."

"The View" recently received an Emmy Award forOutstanding Informative Talk Show last month at the47th annualDaytime Emmys,a ceremony reconfigured due to COVID-19. McCain could hardly contain her excitement at the time, expressing her pride on Twitter.

"CONGRATULATIONS@TheView!" McCaintweeted."Especially our fearless Executive Producer @Brianteta - hosts @WhoopiGoldberg @JoyVBehar @sunny and our incredible producers and entire team!!!!!"

Earlier this year, McCain clarified that said sheself-identifies as a"conservative first and foremostbefore being a Republican."

"I'm still in the party and I still vote Republican and I will going forward, but Trump gets nothing from me," she said on"The View"on Jan. 28.
