CNN's John Avlon on Monday hammered former President Donald Trump for seemingly rooting for a terrorist attack or a stock market crash to help his 2024 bid for the White House.
While talking about some of Trump's recent Truth Social rants, Avlon took particular aim at Trump's claim that there is a "100 percent chance that there will be a major terror attack in the U.S.," which he described as "a crazy thing for the presidential candidate to say."
Former Republican pollster Lee Carter then chimed in to say that Trump was being very savvy in rallying his supporters by making predictions about Americans dying in a terrorist attack, but Avlon quickly rebutted her.

"When did it become a Republican priority or talking point to say 100 percent change of a terrorist attack?" he asked. "When did it become a priority to say we'll have a massive stock market crash? Actively rooting against America should not be a rallying point!"
"It shouldn't be, but his perspective is that it is and it works for him," Carter replied. "He gets his base rallied!"
"That is a sign of sickness, not of strength," Avlon shot back.
