Jim Cramer Warns Trump’s Tariffs Could Trigger Economic Downturn

The CNBC host criticizes the president’s trade policies, linking them to falling stock prices and a potential recession.

Jim Cramer has strongly criticized President Trump's tariff policies, describing them as a potential catalyst for a manufactured recession.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has experienced significant losses recently, dropping over 1,000 points on Monday and nearly 500 points on Tuesday.
Cramer argues that the stock market is signaling economic distress, urging the president to adopt a less confrontational approach to trade and international relations.
Citing historical parallels, Cramer warns that tariffs like those in the Smoot-Hawley Act, which contributed to the Great Depression, could have similarly damaging effects today.
The CNBC host emphasizes the need for the administration to restore consumer confidence and avoid further economic instability.
