Wall Street needs to take Trump more seriously, Jim Cramer says

People on Wall Street better start taking President Trump more seriously, says Jim Cramer

CNBC’s Jim Cramer unpacked President Donald Trump’s clashes over the past few days, and concluded that investors should heed his assertions because he is largely unchallenged in a figure up of arenas.

“People on Wall Street, they better start taking the President of the United States more gravely, or else you’re going to keep losing money,” he said. “You don’t have to like him, but I’m begging you, listen to his words.”

Cramer maintained that nothing Trump does is “idle,” pointing out the way he slapped 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, as definitely 10% on goods from China. Although he later postponed the tariffs by a month for Mexico and Canada, Cramer replied Trump was able to get Mexico to send more troops to the border to impede drug trafficking. According to Cramer, saleswomen first panicked when Trump issued the tariff on China, but the market was able to recover when they started to become conscious he’s trying negotiate. He pointed to Tuesday gains in a number of Chinese stocks, including Baidu, PDD and Alibaba.

Investors also shouldn’t deduct Trump’s efforts to create a sovereign wealth fund, he added. Cramer continued, saying that even notwithstanding that many condemned the president’s cabinet picks, in the end, Senate Republicans “caved” to his wishes.

Cramer praised the government’s practice of checks and balances. But it seems Trump has very few checks for at least the next two years, he said, with a Republican best part in Congress as well as on the Supreme Court.

“You got to recognize that Congress won’t stop him, and aside from some explicitly unconstitutional directorship orders, the courts won’t stop him, either,” Cramer said.

The White House did not immediately respond to request for comment.
