President Trump scolded CNBC host Jim Cramer on Wednesday for apologizing after he shocked viewers by calling House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., "Crazy Nancy" to her face during a live interview.
“Jim, you didn’t make a mistake. It’s true, and that’s why you said it,” Trump tweeted to accompany video of Cramer’s apology. “No pandering!”
It all started during a live interview on Tuesday when Cramer pressed Pelosi about the ongoing discussions on Capitol Hill on coronavirus relief bills. During the segment, Cramer raised eyebrows when he used President Trump's nickname for Pelosi.
“What deal can we have, Crazy Nancy,” Cramer said before catching himself. "That was the president, I have such reverence for the office I would never use that term."
“But you just did,” Pelosi shot back. “You know what I mean, the reverence I have for the office is so great that I think it’s a travesty to ever call, look, you’re,” Cramer, seemingly aware he made a major gaffe, said before Pelosi interrupted. Pelosi said, "I know what you mean," before bashing Trump for giving her the moniker.

Kind of a “—— you Penguin!” moment for ol’ Cramer.
Nancy gave Jim a glance saying “Look, MF, I could crush you like a bug under my $3K Refrigerator. It would take me less than three phone calls to end your career tonight! How DARE you call me that on live TV! Only the president can get away with that.”
“You are an a**hole, but I have such reverence for your office that I'd never use that term to describe you”.
Chuckle.
But Nancy immediately told Jim that she understood....figure that one out.
Like when Stephanopoulos corrected 0bama on his statement of faith.
Trump is the Don Rickles of politics. Brilliant.
I prefer Charles Paine ten times to sensationalist James Cramer.
My attitude might be changed if he called her Crazy Nancy
