CNBCs Jim Cramer Hits Trump for Leisure Time Amid Dow Bloodbath: We All Want More Leadership
We Dont Want Golfing
As the Dow Jones continues its historic plunge, CNBCs Jim Cramer wants President Donald Trump to get off the golf course and do something about it.
Speaking just before the market open on CNBC, the prominent financial commentator hit the president for golfing with several players from the Washington Nationals on Sunday in Florida.
I think we all want more leadership, Cramer said. I think that we all want more test kits, if were going to just talk about health care. We all want the treasury secretary to come out and say small businesses, weve got no-interest loans. We want to be able to take advantage of the curve
and be able to be ready. We dont want golfing.
Cramer went on to put it right on the line for Trump essentially saying that if he wants to win reelection, he needs to figure out a way to halt this market collapse.
It would be great if the president came out and said, whatever it takes,' Cramer said. Whatever it takes. Now, I am not saying that he should panic. Im saying that if he wants to be the president come January, its a whatever it takes moment.
A CNBC colleague pointed out that the administration appears to be opting against that stance, with Trump advisor Larry Kudlow saying that the impact from the virus has been contained.
That may be an ill-advised position, Cramer said.

(17,989 posts)Jim and Larry used to agree on everything and both were usually wrong. You think Jim had an awakening? He was telling everyone in 2008 that things were just fine.

Notice how Warren Buffett doesn't have TV show about investing?
If Cramer was really good at it, he'd be doing it, not bloviating about it.

(959 posts)thinks this idiot has ANY positive qualities at his command? A con man, an uneducated dope, a raging narcicist. Has he EVER shown any leadership? No. But he was good at bullshit, and that's how he got along. Until now. Cramer was fine with him until now, but it's hitting his wallet, and folks are getting sick. There's no bullshitting his way out of this.
