CNBC's Jim Cramer: Trump Has 'Real Things to Say' About Economy
newsmax.com ^ | F McGuire

Posted on 03/18/2016 6:27:56 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

CNBC's Jim Cramer cautions voters that you shouldn’t write off everything Donald Trump says as controversial sound bites on the nightly news.

"Trump has real things to say. They may not be what you think, and they often seem like wishful thinking. But you need to know his views, not just how he is doing coming around the far turn," the "Mad Money" host said.

Cramer believes the U.S. “has been crushed on almost every single trade deal it has done, going all the way back to Nafta,” CNBC reported. “And every time Cramer has asked an official of either party to name a deal that was signed in the last decade that has given the U.S. a trade surplus, no one could come up with an answer,” the report said.

Donald Trump has said other countries are unfairly taking advantage of the U.S. through a combination of high taxes on American products and devaluing their own currencies. The billionaire has urged extreme tariffs — 35 percent on Ford vehicles from Mexico and 45 percent on Chinese goods — to help the U.S. regain the upper hand.

Trump has complained that China, Japan, Mexico, Vietnam and India are "ripping us off" by devaluing their currencies and keeping out some U.S. exports.

Yeah, ‘carnival barker’ and ‘dancing bears’.

Cruz scoffed Trump when he should have learned from him.

Trade is one example.

Another is the muslim ban.

Then there’s waterboarding.

The list goes on.

For President?

The 9 Supreme Court cases.

The $10B claim is false.

I for one prefer his constant waffling, such as “I can’t wait to take Ted Cruz on one-on-one” becoming “Oh shit, I might be forced to debate substance, so I better run and hide.”

Good candidate right there.

I prefer the depth of someone who has argued and won 9 Supreme Court cases.
.................................................
That remark just shows that you DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!

Cruz argued 9 cases before the Supreme Court.
He WON 5.
He LOST 4.
Pretty mediocre average for someone supposed to be so smart!

By the way, Trump’s I.Q. is HIGHER than Cruz’s. So if you are looking for smarts, Trump is the best.

Seems you’ve been sold a bill of goods rotten to the core. Cruz is a phony and a liar too. Better do some research before you mouth off next time about “carnival barkers.” Seems YOU are the one who picked one when you picked Cruz with his “Pregnant Pauses.”

You care about the USA. You are a patriot.

And I try to remind Trump supporters that the Cruz campaign is all about that.

I hope we can unite behind whoever leads the anti-leftist base.

FRegards ....

He’s a genius that tries to speak to a little more than a forth grade level so all can get him.

I agree. He is NOT a long winded windbag like Cruz. Trump speaks pure AMERICAN. Americans understand him and like what they see.

The 10B claim is likely true but who cares? 1 B is far and away much more than Cruz could muster in his lifetime.He’s never signed a check on the Front of the check. All his signatures have been endorsing his government paychecks.

“Trump’s speaches are a breath of fresh air.”

Yes, they are.

I’m so very, very tired of the typical carefully pre-written and legally analyzed speeches and the on-the-spot pause-filled legalistic responses of politicians.

"Trump can’t complete two sentences of substance on a single subject."

Trump can’t complete two sentences of substance on a single subject in a row.

IQ is useless without a core.

I’m voting for Cruz and his core values.

Trump understands how money works... and how global economies work... there’s proof in the pudding.

“IQ is useless without a core.

His core values are selling out to the GOPe. Explain why Neil Bush, Jeb’s brother has come on board the Cruz campaign. Explain why Lindsey Graham is holding a fund raiser in honor of Ted Cruz. Explain why the cheap labor express supporter Carly Fiorina is accompanying Ted to the Border. Explain why other establishment Congressmen have come out in support of Ted this week. These are not coincidences.

Illustrations of the shallowness of wealth.

Character is measured with a different yardstick.
