Co-host of âThe Viewâ Meghan McCain believes President Donald Trumpâs legacy will reflect his decision to leave Washington, D.C. âlooking like a war zone.â
âLook, D.C., itâs not an exaggeration or hubris to say it looks like a war zone right now,â McCain said on Tuesday.
She noted there are more U.S. troops stationed in Washington, D.C. than Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria combined.
âIf this is anyoneâs definition of making America great, I donât know who they are,â McCain added.
She claimed Trump is leaving office with the lowest approval rating of any modern president in U.S. history.
McCain explained it is lower than the approval ratings of former presidents Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter.

Former U.S. Attorney General William Barrsuggested challenging the election results âprecipitatedâ the riots at the Capitol.
