"They cratered the damn stock market and gave us nothing," the longtime CNBC host said.
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.
