President Donald Trump’s tariff threats once again rattled the stock market this week, and CNBC’s Jim Cramer said that may be exactly when investors should strike.
“There are huge stock market ramifications to almost everything things president does, and I think he knows it,” Cramer said Wednesday night on “Mad Money.” But Cramer said there’s a key difference now compared with Trump’s first term in the Oval Office from 2017 to 2021.
“Trump [in his second term] is far more comfortable taking the market down, not up,” Cramer said. “Just be ready. You should get plenty of good buying opportunities over the next three years.”
Investors learned last year that Wall Street moves sharply in response to Trump’s policies — whether they are merely threatened or actually implemented. “From trade policy, to tax policy, to capital return policy or military policy, the ramifications to the stock market are more important than anything other than the direction of interest rates,” Cramer said.
