'I feel like a sucker': Jim Cramer says he was wrong to have believed Trump on tariffs (with family-friendly graphics) [View all]

https://www.tvinsider.com/1184894/jim-cramer-trump-tariffs-cnn-erin-burnett/


“Well, I’m let down,” Cramer said in response to President Donald Trump‘s new widespread trade tariffs, which will see around 60 countries faced with steep tariffs if they want to export goods to the US. Trump announced a baseline of 10% on all foreign goods but noted some countries will face even higher tariffs.

“I’m not a free trader… I’m a fair trader,” Cramer told Burnett. “I always have been from the days when you worked with me at CNBC. And what I was hoping was that a coordinated thing where if you are charging us 20%, we charge you 20%. Instead of a car where we’re only making you pay two and a half and you’re not letting us in, we try to get things better.”

Cramer went on to note how Trump’s numbers “don’t make any sense” and “are just wrong” before expressing his disappointment in believing the President would make a logical decision.

Cramer added that “They screwed up… 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 workigng person. This is what they came up with? Jeez, come on! Have some gumption. Have some math.”


Have some meth?
People say that some chatbot came up with the numbers.
