Wall Street, the Bankers, the Hedge Funds, the multinational corporations, K-Street Lobbying firms, Democrats, Republicans, leftists, globalists, and every other segment of the financial media who define themselves through the prism of their bank accounts, need someone else to blame for the Trump tariffs; because Trump doesn’t care.
It looks like the professional political class have decided to focus all financial firepower against Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
With the anticipated reciprocal tariffs announcement tomorrow, Liberty Day as President Trump calls it, the high-finance multinationals and Wall Street crowd are going bananas. Here come the hits against Lutnick.
(Politico) -‘I don’t know anyone that isn’t pissed off at him’: Trump world turns on Lutnick. As ‘Liberation Day’ nears, patience for the Commerce secretary is wearing thin across the Trump administration. (read more)
(New York Post) – Frustration grows with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick ahead of Trump tariff announcement: ‘Loose cannon with half-baked ideas’ (read more)
Two people close to the administration, overheard the brother of someone who works at the White House saying something about tariffs. Therefore, it has to be Howard Lutnick’s fault, or something.
Another source “familiar with the situation,” because he looked up The White House on Google to see a map of the area, said it was “100%” accurate that annoyance with Lutnick is growing, reiterating concern about him talking too loosely in public as well as inserting himself into the administration action.
Obviously, Trump and Company are over the target.
👉exactly 💯. All the major movers with President Donald J Trump’s MAGA agenda are going to be attacked. Those minor players are tolerated for the status quo they bring but these wolverines that Sundance highlights are over the targets 👈👌👍😎
You beat me to the exact thing. More Flak higher the target.
Seems like Musk has hit few targets early this week.
Just picked up some fresh popcorn!
I don’t think we can conclude anything from what is said by “sources close to the White House” or who are “familiar with the situation.” I don’t even think we know a thing about what Wall Street thinks of all this based on those articles. I think we should assume DS finagling until otherwise proven.
Those popular unnamed source references in MSM articles indicate that the claims made therein are 100% unadulterated bovine manure.
More “anonymous source” BS! Name names Charmins!
Definitely BW. Secretary Lutnick has already been through personal armor steeling life experiences with the tragedy of 9/11 Cantor Fitzgerald losing the highest number of casualties for any employer and went on the revive it.
Globalists/GOPe stupidly mistaken his affable demeanor as vulnerability. They are selectively blind to the wolverine teeth behind the smile.
Godspeed Secretary Lutnick, POTUS Trump and Trump admin!
My thoughts exactly! 🎯
President Trump, Lutnick, and the tariffs have all the right enemies!
The list of the ones squealing about tariffs have absolutely no concern about the American middle class!
I, personally am SICK of hearing from them!
My best Reagan voice “Well Mommy, I guess they will have to get a safe room, a support dog and a good dose of Prozac.”
And I can hear the Gipper saying this, lol!
Can you hear the Gipper saying this?
That was long before NAFTA, if you recall.
Golden pipes.
BD! NB! That. Was. Funny. 😂🤣😂
I keep asking the question: If tariffs are so bad….then why haven’t the opponents of these NEVER gone to the mat to get rid of the thousands of EXISTING tariffs, set asides, and quotas before now?
Mmmmmm?
Because some of those one way tariffs allowed military ownership of countries.
It’s not that reasonable tariffs on foreign countries are bad it’s that putting 25% tariffs on American companies like Ford, GM and Chrysler who make cars that have 75% foreign content will bankrupt them!
It’s Ford, GM and Chrysler that starting tomorrow have to pay a 25% tax on every car and truck they make in Mexico and Canada when they bring the vehicle into the US. Where is that $$$ coming from? If they don’t bring in the cars they are just eating the expense. If they bring in the cars they have to write a check for 25% of the value. It takes 5 years to build a car factory. What do they do in the meantime? Where do they get the billions to build the factories? Interest rates are at 8 and 9%. UAW union contracts are notoriously insane. Remember, never buy a car made on Monday or Friday? Detroit auto workers are extremely overpaid. The plants in Mexico and Canada brought down the price of new cars. Manufacturers had a bargaining chip with the UAW. Not any more!
Unless these tariffs are a bluff or negotiating tool they will bankrupt every American car company and then the only cars you can buy will be foreign!
Oh well, they are made with mostly foreign parts anyway…..
We have a shuttered 2.2m sq ft gm plant here in Kalamazoo, they don;t have to build. They cleaned it out in months, they could probably referbish just as quickly
They outsourced because union autoworkers were/are notoriously overpaid and lazy! Work rules and benefits were killing the car manufacturers. Sourcing decisions to shift to Mexico and Canada didn’t occur in a vacuum!
Did they leave you behind as spokesman?
“They outsourced because union autoworkers were/are notoriously overpaid and lazy! Work rules and benefits were killing the car manufacturers.”
I know of things that went on in the auto plants here in Buffalo/ WNY
There was blame to go around everywhere.
Employees
Unions
Employers
Government.
Wow, overpaid and lazy. Stereotype much ?
They moved to exploit a poorer nation and make more profit.
Perhaps you might focus some of your exuberance on your state,
You know,
all the streets are brown and the frogs are gay ,packing up
my stuff, moving on my way.
Democrats destroyed,mission Bay, California nightmare,
Nothing left to say.
Illegals kill everyone, junkies crap everywhere,
but Trump is doing reciprocal tariffs,so I don’t care.
Btw paying 180,000 / year to clean up street poop, that’s extreme.
Even automakers didn’t make that much.
Perzactly!
Bingo, we saw that with VW in Pa.!
And who was it that outsourced to start with? They can and will quickly be able to increase American made parts. That will reduce the 25% to something much less.
We can always count on good old Joe to parrot the Globalist BS talking points. Keep up the trolling Joey.
The only point I, at this time, will agree on with you is never buy a car made on a Monday or Friday.
LOL! Okay, how do we figure that mystery out! 🤔
Date of mfr is always on the vehicle info tag
.
That was a myth from way back! Worked at VW Westmoreland (Pa.) and our builds were the same no matter the day they were built! We built a better quality car than Germany did, by a long shot, not even close!
Ain’t gonna happen. Worst case scenario, Trump will take the tariffs collected and subsidize the domestic car companies JUST LIKE HE SUBSIDIZED THE FARMERS with the tariffs collected last time he did this. And the economy didn’t tank like the naysayers predicted. It was the Covid scam that eventually caused the slowdown. You’ve been hanging out too long with Liberals, CA Joe.
😆
He’s going to tariff them and subsidize them with their own $$$? Why not just let them keep their money to start with and eliminate the government middle man?
Tariffs on foreign made cars, too. Don’t be obtuse. Tons of money from overseas.
And the details get announced tomorrow at 4pm supposedly. He could easily adjust the rules for domestic suppliers or the percentage of foreign parts in a specific car model if they wanted to be that particular. We won’t know all the details until WE DO.
Why didn’t they remain loyal to the nation that made them ?
Because they didn’t, I don’t.
What do you drive ?
Are you foolish enough to have a Chinese Chevy assembled in Canada ?
Joe…you might be right about those SPECIFIC tariffs.
But the opponents of Trump tariffs oppose ALL OF THEM. They oppose tariffs IN PRINCIPLE.
My question is simply to ask…if they are opposed to all of them in principal….why haven’t they been agitating for the reduction or elimination of PREEXISTING tariffs for the past…oh…50 years?
Only because PDJT didn’t impose them all in the past 50 years.
Guess they better hurry up and update their supply chains.
The people who hollowed out our country are now trying to blackmail us into not fixing it.
Hokkoda, more and more, I find myself agreeing with your comments!
Hokkoda is the best!
Indeed.
This precisely Hokkado!
Bingo!
Perfectly stated! Thanks, Hokkoda!
Or a Tesla
“brought down the price of new cars”. Have you actually priced a new car or truck lately? The prices are no where near being lowered. It may take 5 years to build a new mfg plant if you are using union labor in a blue liberal state with tons of regulations slowing you down. I am sure Trump would issue an EO THAT WOULD SPEED UP the time to build new plants. Build the plants in the South in right to work states w/o unions.
Prices have been sky high since Obama’s “Cash for Clunkers.”
What a waste of perfectly good older used cars!
Well Chrysler is foreign owned company, so who cares, Ford and GM will just have to expand their exiting US plants. They will just have to eat the cost or not sell cars, I am sure Honda,Totota,Hyundai, Suburu, will fill the void from their US plants, they all make a better car than Ford or GM. You kill me ,running around like the little boy screaming wolf ,you do remember the first 4 years of President Trump, the tariffs worked just fine. Now do us all a favor and go back to sleep.
The tariffs worked fine because they were low and on lower priced products mostly from China. China just cut the price of it’s currency. It won’t work for 25% of an $80,000 F-100.
There’s not 1 single chance in hades that I’m ever, repeat, ever going to pay $80K for a depreciating asset.
Not ever.
If your going to troll ,at least make sense, “It won’t work for 25% of an $80,000 F-100.
Yes.
At $80,000 it may as well be $800,000.
I’m not paying either.
F-150? At least get your most basic facts right, makes everything else you say seem as Bull Sh*t.
I thought exploiting poorer nations brought the price down.
You say that the big 3 are ‘american’ companies.
They disagree with you on that.
Promptly after getting their Obama cheese, GM built a plant in China.
You should go clean the junkie poop off your sidewalk , before you get fined.
See the whole board.
For many years, the rogue CIA, through State and USAID have been exerting “soft power” allegedly on our behalf, to compel countries to NOT do things that are contrary to our National interests, or do things they (CIA) thought WERE in our nations best interests.
Even as he is dismantling the funding operstions of the CIA, he is directly taking the controls, replacing USAID Color revolutions with tariffs.
Yes, initially ‘reciprocal’ tariffs, to cause a reset.
But then, if a country is persueing policies at odds with American interests, he can tariff not just that country, but any country that does business with that country.
Witness Venezuelan oil, as an example. Pretty quickly, he won’t even have to impose the tariff, they will all know he CAN, and so when he calls them on the phone, and says “invading your neighbor is destabilising, contrsry to Americas interest, so knock it off! ” they WILL listen.
Thank you, Dutchman, for explaining the big picture that most do not see and refuse to understand.
For a very long time now if you wanted an American made car you had to buy a foreign car. Toyota Tundras are made in San Antonio, Texas where as a Ford Ranger was made in Juarez, Mexico. Crazy. Honda plants in Tennessee but Ford plants in Windsor, Canada. Replacement parts from Taiwan and China are pure garbage, especially since Covid. Reigning in the EPA and getting rid of the UAW would greatly help our auto industry. Born and raised in farm implement capitol of the World and watched the UAW drive all those jobs away. One of the reasons I left.
The problem is the UAW!
Make up your mind, “It won’t work for 25% of an $80,000 F-100.”
The uaw WAS one of the problems.
The leadership historically supported another big problem,
Democrats, like yourself.
Ahhh good, another dot connector! Democrats and unions, a marriage made in Hell!
Unions have outlived their usefulness! Now they’re just like corruption!
Reporting for the Wall Street Journal…….
Sounds like they should make more stuff in the USA. If they commit to doing that I think DJT will work with them.
If I build a car in someone else’s yard and then bring it into my yard after it’s built, can I say that I built the car in my yard?
Now do that same thing with America.
Or, how about this one…
If I stay in an American based hotel while in another country, am I in America?
TOUCHÉ!! How I’m reminded of govt control of paraphernalia 🍌
Well CJ, maybe Ford, Gm and Chrysler should be making those cars in the US of A and they wouldn’t be paying that 25%.
Comes under the heading of “hoist on their own petard.”
I stopped buying inferior quality overpriced “American” cars long ago.
FTUAW
There is a reason your handle is “California” joe…. Maybe they should have kept their factories stateside? All the poor billionaire owners will go broke!! Fret.worry..worry…. Not an ounce of pity sorry. Buy American, build American, maybe Tesla (American company) can build internal combustion…
I like that idea!! It would be a great car, I am sure!
This is total nonsense. It’s this kind of thinking that’s put us in the predicament we’re in. Let’s just continue with horrible trade policies, because god forbid there be any short term challenges. While we’re at it, let’s allow China to continue ripping us off and stealing our intellectual property. We wouldn’t want to tariff them, because it could increase the price of imported junk. Never mind the fact that half of our manufacturing base has been gutted. I’m so tired of people who want the failed status quo and continuously fearmonger about changing anything.
Ford, GM, and Chrysler are foreign car companies.
American companies that took advantage of American consumers for decades then packed up & moved wherever they could find cheaper slaves?
They didn’t reduce the price of their products 1 cent afterward did they? Nope. They continued to try to rob us blind.
Sorry, they can all “go pound sand.” Literally.
A company that produces cars with a 75% foreign content product doesn’t really sound very much like an American company regardless of the company name or origin.
It’s 25% of only the foreign content (75%), the purpose of which is to ultimately force move manufacturing of that 75% foreign content to the USA, creating jobs.
At one point not so long ago, Remington Firearms were the ONLY true American made product!
Ford, GM and Chrysler are more than capable of bankrupting themselves all on their own. It matters not what the tariff situation is.
We will never fix our de-industrialization problem by not fixing it. Fixing it requires moving manufacturing to the USA.
1. Why is 75 percent of their content foreign ?
2. Plenty of available buildings around south east Michigan, Northern Ohio.*
* Plenty of domestic manufacturers for components as well.
3. American auto workers went to a 2 tier pay system years ago.
4. I don’t consider $80,000 for a truck, bringing the price down.*
* Where does the extra profit go, since not to the workforce ?
5. Define extremely overpaid. Most are in the middle class range.
Making an honest living is now defined as extreme ?
Btw, the more $ that is made domestically, the more that is spent domestically.
When I bought my Hyundai, it was more domestic than the big 3 and probably still is.
There are no more muscle cars, nothing worth getting excited about.
Everything looks basically the same.
I’m buying safe, reliable transportation.
If the big 3 choose to follow the Chrysler model of the late 70s
and can’t compete in the available market, then they fail.
Btw, since you seem so hell bent on supporting foreigners and their production,
Why so hostile about their vehicles ?
P.S. I refuse to pay $80,000 for a vehicle that I can’t eat, sleep and poop in.
“If tariffs are bad for the citizens, why does your country have them? If your country has them, why can’t mine?”
I have never seen a foreign politician griping about USA tariffs ON THEIR COUNTRY that EVER disclosed the MUCH HIGHER TARIFFS THEY CHARGE THE USA! NEVER!!!
Their citizen-sheep 🐑 need to quit being lazy and do a little research before they swallow -hook, line, and sinker- everything their corrupt, globalist politicians say and start BLEATING anti-USA slogans!
They sure look foolish protesting against the USA when their own lying leaders are at fault!
And, its RECIPROCAL; if a country only charges us a 2% tariff, we only charge THEM a 2% tariff, if they charge 50% thats what WE charge THEM.
So,..its FAIR.
There are twi main reasons for tariffs; one is a tax, that ideally covers the cost of having a customs bureau, to inspect incoming products for counterfeit, prohibited, etc. items.
2.5% seems to do that.
The second is to protect OUR industries, farmers etc. against lower priced goods putting our companies out of business.
PDJT is opening up a third, which is, or will become an additional way to exert SOFT POWER.
If a country like Venezuela is engaging in behavior contrary to our nations best interests, there is no need for USAID to orchestrate a color revolution, he just not only tariffs that countries imports so high that they can’t sell here, he threatens high tariffs against any other country that buys their products.
ECONOMIC SECURITY IS NATIONAL SECURITY.
Exactly! No, the USA is supposed to bend over and take it from any other country in the world. The American people should love being put last, having their money stolen by their own government to line of the pockets of God knows who. It’s time our government realized that we don’t intend to continue the road to bankruptcy just so the globalist powers that be can be happy. We want them to own nothing and be happy — just like they want us to be!
True, but I can see the losing hand of the Europeans. Little in the way of reasonable cost energy supplies. Little in the way of natural resources. The hope of forcing everyone to switch to expensive renewal energy fading as Trump educates the world on that hoax. As Trump levels the trading field he accelerates the demise of the European economy. Desperate people do desperate things. Thus the Ukraine/Russia/NATO mess which will likely get worse.
UM, cuz they are complete phonies comes to mind!
I love this guy! I LOVE his ever present positivity!
Bravo!
My thoughts exactly
Yay Treehouse!!!
Awe, tough! We are tired of getting “screwed” on the altar of “free trade”. This isn’t free trade, it’s managed trade. Enough is enough already. Want to do business with us, make trade advantageous to both partners not just one.
And the only one I am getting tired of is the left stream media,100% MAGA.
They won’t win. Lutnick is the real deal and a force to be reckoned with. He’ll come out on top.
Gotta love this guy. NY street fighter…..’Chip off the old block….Trump block, that is.
I don’t think Howard Lutnick cares what they think.
Howard lost 90% of his company in the DS attack on America on 9/11. I still remember him being interviewed on 9-11 or 9-12. He was crushed.
My gave a crap quit when they leaked that an autopen was used during the occupation… and not a single pundit from MSM seemed to care.
Exactly. May the farce be with them…….the MSM and Wall street that is.
Mine quit long before that.
“I don’t know anyone that isn’t…” Obviously there are about 100 million people you don’t know. (Could be 200 million.)
That Politico piece: The sound of tiny fists being banged on even tinier desks.
Spoons being banged on high chair trays.
I heard someone saying something about Ukraine and Israel too.
Send the FBI.
“ Two people close to the administration, overheard the brother of someone who works at the White House saying something about tariffs. Therefore, it has to be Howard Lutnick’s fault, or something.“
HA HA LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Picture, our country is now operating under new management.
Here’s a short portion of President Trump’s address to the Joint Session of Congress:
“Since taking office, my administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration crackdown in American history, and we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crossers ever recorded. Thank you. (Applause.)
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept saying we needed new legislation. “We must have legislation to secure the border.” But it turned out that all we really needed was a new president. (Applause.)
AUDIENCE: Trump! Trump! Trump!
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you.”
=========================
I was thinking the very same thing could be said about the long, slow and steady decline of our nation.
Maybe the mis-management and decline of our nation was not inevitable. Maybe we just needed new management.
Our country is now operating under new management.
They don’t like a lot of things, And I’m ok with that.
Ah, the reason to keep one or two Uniparty idiots around, in positions where they can’t do any harm (like Birdbrain) you run your new ideas past them, and if they are strongly against, you know your onto something.
President Trump Says Tariffs Are the Most ‘Beautiful Words to Me’ in the Dictionary
Another signal? 😹
Quite simply put. You want free trade then trade free with us. Lutnick makes listening to politicians fun.
Simply put … but it is not that simple. Europe can not compete on a level playing field. No cheap energy. No cheap natural resources. No cheap labor. They tried importing cheap labor from Muslim countries. That doesn’t work! So do we continue to prop up Europe with unfair trade and free military protection, or let them fade into second rate/third rate countries. Maybe Canada can fill their needs with cheap energy and resources. Are we pushing things that way?
have they ever tried?
Secretary Lutnick is the best spokesman for the Trump economic agenda (Economic Security is National Security!) that anyone could imagine. He is a treasure, and I’m sure President Trump appreciates him immensely.
Are we READY for Liberation Day tomorrow, april 2nd 2025? !!!!!!!!! (I am)
Let the D.C. people yell and scream and shout “the sky is falling”.
Hopefully they will understand what 200 million American’s have been experiencing the last 4 years (when we were told “be Kind and take in 21 million illegals and murders/rapists/terrorists!”
We told D.C. … “Help us” and they took a BIG DUMP on our Leader President Trump!
If we are over the target , I say “BOMBS AWAY”. 🙂
According to PDJT, India is already lowering their tariffs down to 2.5%, in anticipation, as are several others…
He has pointed out, there are other trade barriers besides just tariffs that countries use, to keep out American products, but because he can quickly raise or lower, and without interference from Congress or the Courts, he will use tariffs to force countries to remove ALL trade barriers..over time.
As he said, he will be far “fairer” to them, than they have been to us, and once he gets the trade ‘field’ level, he can use the threat if tariffs to address countries engaging in behaviors contrary to our National Interests,..like running a nuclear weopons program,…invading a neighbor,…siezing the assets of an American company and kicking them out,…
This is real horseshit. These chumps are just jealous because Lutnick’s reported income last year was $100M.
Lutnick is the same kind fellow who set up a fund to help the families of all the Cantor Fitzgerald employees who lost their lives on 9/11. His fund has helped these families every year since 9/11.
If anyone saw the recent Fox News interview between Bret Baier & Howard Lutnick heard Lutnick tell Baier that until 9/11 his life was about making money. Then 9/11 happened and it gave Lutnick a new purpose in life.
These dumasses are, well, dumasses.
It’s good to know he knows what really happen on 09/11/2001……….
I’m not sure he knows what you are talking about (if you mean how it happened).
But he was clear in that interview that he knows God intervened to save his life that day – and that there is a purpose he is meant to fulfill.
LOVE the pictures of the wolverines 👊🏻
Me too!
Happy Liberation Day Eve Treepers, It’s Go Time!
Dogs and cats living together! Oh my!! And as my husbands running coach used to say, “I don’t give a rats a**!”
That’s old school, i love it 😎
How much of an influence on the Wisconsin vote will tariffs have?
About as much as your off topic comment does.
Yup.
Narrative Control Operatives are standing by.
Even the serially banned trolls can’t quit us.
Hmm,..actually the elections COULD give us some insight, into whether the constant drumbeat of criticism against PDJT and his policies, including on tariffs, has any downstream effects.
Certainly if the R candidates lose, you can BET the Legacy media will eagerly blame “Trump” and his policies,…on the other hand if the R’s do well, they will come up with SOME explanation that doesn’t give PDJT any credit…
“The tarriffists hate us for our freebies.” – New Woke Order
Women’s Studies and Queer Identity majors get in one last interpretative dance before graduation and they have to report for their shifts at local fast food restaurants.
Anytime you cut off the freebies that have enabled one to live the good life at the expense of others, the free loaders are going to pitch a hissy fit. Tariffs AGAINST the USA IS A WORLD WIDE welfare program FOR SECOND RATE AND THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES.
IF IT WERE ME, I’D PUT A 100% TARIFF ON EVERY THING NOT MADE IN AMERICA. SEE HOW FAST COMPANIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD WOULD BE FLOODING THE USA WITH MFG FACILTIES AND MILLIONS OF NEW MFG HIGH PAYING JOBS FOR AMERICANS.
JUST DO IT.

Good luck Globalist Scum!
If Howard Lutnick is being attacked, he must be doing a great job. That’s the first tell. And, President Trump has known him for years; this unnamed/anonymous source nonsense is just an attempt to undermine the administration, as we all well know. “My brother’s girlfriend’s sister’s husband’s ex-wife knows a guy who overheard everything!”
Yep! I think this technique of attribution was very well illustrated in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off:
Economics Teacher: Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Simone: Um, he’s sick. My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it’s pretty serious.
Economics Teacher: Thank you, Simone.
Simone: No problem whatsoever.
Economics Teacher: Frye? Frye? Frye?
(Even better when one considers who played the Economics Teacher. 😉 )
An actor who actually has a degreevin economics, lol.
Howard Lutnick has survived literal and figurative fires of a magnitude that the yappers cannot even fathom.
he is impeccably qualified, highly resilient, and at this stage of the game,
i suspect he doesn’t give two flying figs what any of the detractors have to say.
he’s a good man, and the naysayers can’t touch him.
And if $100 million/year income isn’t “FU $” well then I don’t know what is.
He can’t be bought, intimidated, threatened or blackmailed, and it drives them CRAZY, LOL.
Lutnick has more class and a higher IQ than all of these overcompensated Wall Street pigs. Let them squeal.
“The yield curve! The yield curve!” Anyone else remember that?
lol
And how ‘bout them egg prices, eh?!
The things they hate about Lutnik are the same things they hate about Trump. He speaks candidly, without notes, and about things he understands very well. And he does it in a way that is easy to understand without a lot of pretending.
And then there’s Bessent calling $11B Booz Allen “a grift”. I worked there for 10 years. He’s not wrong.

No, I just remember 5 days to flatten the curve..or something……
He is referring to the inverted yield curve.
CNBC’s Jim Cramer Goes on Insane Tirade Against Trump Over the Economy (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit |
On Monday night’s edition of CNBC’s Mad Money, the host delivered a devastating assessment of Trump as the “one man standing in the way of a great economy” and finished with what Trump would surely consider a deeply insulting kill shot — comparing him to the late President Jimmy Carter:
“We have declining inflation, except the president’s putting on inflationary tariffs.
We have incredibly low unemployment, except where it’s caused by the Trump administration.
We have a market that was doing extremely well last year, until the Trump Administration sowed the level of uncertainty that I can’t recall any time since — Are you ready, Ski Daddy? — Jimmy Carter.
Which is the last time people were really worried about inflation, about stagflation, okay? Back then, stagflation was real.
Now, Jimmy Carter, curious benchmark, break out the cardigan sweater. I know it’s a brutal comparison. You think I did it idly?
I cannot think of another president in my lifetime who could knock down the stock market simply by opening his mouth than Jimmy Carter. Eureka! I have found him!
So let’s look at it this way: Everything about this economy is good. Everything, everything, except one thing. We have a president who’s very angry at everyone, except Vladimir Putin. Oh, no, maybe even Vladimir Putin.
And his wrath has made investors so downcast and so negative that people have just given up. They want nothing to do with stocks, nothing to with this world, because they’re sure the White House will keep laying on the tariffs that seem to be wiping out your wealth and my wealth.
In this environment, it’s a wonder anyone’s buying anything, unless they think that the one person who’s standing in the way of a great economy. One that could have incredible growth with lowered inflation, lower oil prices, less regulation, more confidence, will finally change the stripes.
If Trump can lose the anger, drop the scowl, stop diminishing our friends and rivals while making common cause with our enemies, and generally start acting like he did in his first term, well, that would be huge for the stock market!
As far as the stock markets are concerned, though, we need less Jimmy Carter, more Ronald Reagan. Bottom line, maybe Wednesday isn’t de-liberation day.
It’s just the day when American investors may be finally liberated from the president’s not-so-pro-business attitude.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/jim-cramer-goes-insane-tirade-against-trump-economy/
Jim Cramer has a perfect record. He has been wrong about everything. Perfect record.
If clown Cramer, the jumping, arms waving, screaming lunatic is AGAINST tariffs, then that’s a sure fire bet FOR tariffs.
Fortunately, he’s on CNBC so not many see him.
You need to hang out more at GP,it is more your style.
If the communists at CNBC are against it, then everyone ought to be for it pending further developments. I’d wager that conservative leaning new media generates a sizable percentage of the attention the dinosaur media gets. The advertisers paying for dinosaur media should get a refund.
The same guys who invented the Pelosi stock picker app apparently also have a “Opposite of Jim Kramer” app.
I responded to Joe with this: “There is an EFT available to invest in that is a ‘reverse Jim Cramer’ fund, it performs quite well. Look it up.”
There is an EFT available to invest in that is a “reverse Jim Cramer” fund, it performs quite well. Look it up.
I love listening to Howard / great backstory and very positive PDJT supporter – thought it was strange to see all the attacks pop up today -smh
Let’s see what happens!
I love Mr. Lutnick’s passion
Trump doesn’t care and I don’t think Lutnick gives a dam. The gravy train is over you wall street scumbags
Lutnick is a constant reminder that it is possible to be more then a mere lukewarm MAGA defender.
Go Lutnick Go!!

Hey Political, maybe if you broaden your circle you might find some people who have high praise for Howard Lutnick and thankful for what he has sacrificed for our country. Maybe these people just need some cheese to go with that whine. Oh wait make that American manufactured cheese, but I’m sure they can afford any higher prices for French cheese.
To all those spreading lies about good people in President Trump’s cabinet: May the fleas of 1000 camels infest your armpits.
There are more irritating places….. rhymes with watch.
And an elephant caress your toes…
@sundance LMFAO. This is pure comedy gold. You can write great satire through the art of comedy. And the pictures at the end are awesome and punctuate your point. Well done!
Godspeed, Secretary Lutnick! Godspeed and God Bless You!

Lutnick has the best attitude of them all. He will never cave.
I daresay he has literally -275 Kelvin F*cks to give… – Which is aroundabout *Absolute Zero*.
billionaire don’t care.
MAGA.

“You didn’t build that…”
They are NOT Lutnicks “half baked ideas” they are PDJT’s fully baked ones…he’s the BOSS.
And, Howards frequent public statements are ALSO PDJT’s idea; he and his whole admin. are out there, in front of the cameras, not out of ego gratification, but in order to control and counter the libtard narrative.
The WSJ is only useful as a reverse barometer, and to line a bird cage, …even the birds know what to do to it.
