CNBC’s Jim Cramer Gets Caught Up in Excitement Over Trade Deals

On Monday, CNBC host Jim Cramer expressed his enthusiasm regarding President Donald Trump’s new trade agreements. During the “Squawk on the Street” segment, Cramer reacted to graphics showcasing recent deals with various countries, notably a significant one with the European Union.

Amid his excitement, he exclaimed, “What’s f—!” This outburst came soon after he saw the graphics, but he quickly seemed to regret it. “Our biggest problem is that there is so much growth the Fed won’t cut,” he said, and then added, “What a god! Sorry. I’ll get it back soon. That was a bad thing.”

His co-hosts, David Faber and Carl Quintanilla, reassured him that it wasn’t a major issue. Faber comforted him, saying, “It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay! We’re in that moment. That’s the way we speak.”

Quintanilla agreed, noting, “Real people doing live TV.” Cramer reflected, “I’m done. I don’t think I’m out of here,” but Faber laughed and reassured him, “No, it’s fine. You’re absolutely fine. Do you want to tell me?”

“No, I just feel like the interest rate cuts and the economy are booming,” Cramer replied, attempting to refocus on the economic news.

Later, he also apologized on social media for his earlier excitement, stating, “I apologize to all viewers. I was too enthusiastic to make my claims about the great economy we have.”

On Sunday, Trump announced a new trade agreement with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, which included a 15% tariff on most EU goods imported into the U.S. Von der Leyen mentioned that Europe plans to invest $600 billion and will purchase $150 billion worth of U.S. energy as part of this deal.

This agreement follows Trump’s recent success in arranging a $550 billion trade deal with Japan. Trump commented, “We have just completed a massive deal with Japan, perhaps the biggest deal ever. At my direction, Japan will invest $550 billion in the United States, which will receive 90% of the profit. This transaction will create hundreds of thousands of jobs.”

Interestingly, some of Trump’s vocal critics have started to reassess their earlier views on the potential damage caused by his tariffs. HBO host Bill Maher recently acknowledged on his “Club Random” podcast that his predictions may have missed the mark. “Now I remember, most people probably saying, ‘Oh, by July 4th… the economy will be carved by then.’ But that didn’t happen,” he reflected. “It could happen tomorrow. It’s just that it’s real, so let’s work from that reality first, not because, ‘I just hate Donald Trump.’
