Jim Cramer Wonders If Trump Is 'Manufacturing' A Recession
HuffPost
"It doesn't make any sense," the CNBC host said.
President Donald Trump’s economic policies are so bad, so baffling, and so poorly communicated that CNBC host Jim Cramer wonders if he’s deliberately trying to cause a recession.
In a conversation with “Squawk on the Street” co-host Carl Quintanilla Tuesday, the veteran trader was beside himself as he observed there’s no basis for the economy to tip into a recession right now, unless Trump creates one.
“I don’t think we’ll have a recession ― like I said, it’s manufactured. It’s manufactured,” he told Quintanilla. “‘Manufactured’ could easily cause recession. Absolutely.”
“I’m saying manufacturing is that you can make it happen,” he continued. “And when you get angry, and when you you kind of lose your temper, and you get mad ... it gets people nervous and upset.”
Cramer begged the White House to change its disposition and strike a kinder tone with America’s allies, noting it’s possible to be both “tough as nails” and happy at the same time.
