Livid Jim Cramer Tears Into Trump For Making Him 'Feel Like A Sucker' On Tariffs

Longtime CNBC host Jim Cramer lit into President Donald Trump on Thursday after his across-the-board tariffs caused the stock market to tank. “I thought they were going to do something,” Cramer told CNN’s Erin Burnett. “And what’d they do? They cratered the damn stock market and gave us nothing.”

Cramer, who opposes free trade and favors certain reciprocal tariffs, noted that that Trump had repeatedly insisted his tariffs would be “reciprocal” and was ready to support them as a result. “And that was gonna be so good, and I really believed in it,” Cramer admitted. “And I feel like a sucker tonight.”

He said he was just as tough, if not tougher, on free trade issues than many of Trump’s own advisors. “But they screwed it up,” he said. “They did it a totally ill-advised way and I was very let down as someone who really, truly believes that free trade is awful for the American working person.”

Cramer banged the table for emphasis as he added: “This is what they came up with? Jeez, c’mon! Have some gumption! Have some math!”

His logic and arguments make no sense.

it's hard to convince someone they've been fooled.

I give Cramer a teeny bit of credit for figuring out he's been fooled, but what took so long?

I watched the guy once or twice when he first came out on TV.

recommendations "went south."

He's a showman but has no idea of what he is talking about.

In fact, if there has been no crediting of the source, I would have thought it was Borowitz.

Cramer's choice of presidents is even worse than his investment advice.

After the 2008 financial crisis I can't believe anyone would pay him to be on TV and talk about finances.

Cramer seemed completely baffled by the fact that Trump and Co. would do something this dumb.

He kept yelling about how he thought they were gonna something really good, and then suddenly they did something else that was really bad! As if he couldn’t believe it!

And the entire time I was like

DUDE DID YOU MISS THE PART WHERE TRUMP WAS CONVICTED ON 34 FELONY CHARGES OF BUSINESS FRAUD.
