'I'm not hearing people blame the Fed as much as they're blaming tariffs,' says CNBC's Jim Cramer.

"Most of the companies I've talked to, Mr. President, are saying [the slowdown] is because of your tariffs," Cramer said on "Cramer's reaction was toTrump has been a vocal critic of the Fed and its chairman,, whom he nominated, since central bankers raised interest rates four times last year. The president has repeatedly called for the Fed to cut rates.

It's a time bomb, it will catch up. Enjoy Obama's contribution to the economy while it lasts.

Thanks Jim.

Have you been to the grocery store lately jimcramer ? Try to a pair shoes? Prices are drastically up across the board. China is not paying, we are.

No one boycotts when a company blames Trump. Cramer should spend less time on meaningless comparisons.

It doesn't really matter now does it! US CO.s can keep beating eps est. like they have for the last 18 months, and wall street will keep ripping off investors with ZERO net investment growth, because they are frauds and like CNBC they are propagandists, not real business people

Okay

I doubt he speaks with many from the vast sea of small businesses thirsting for capital, yearning to expand. There can be only one reason why builders are not building... access to capital.

The FED has saved your arse yet some people will never be happy.

Well. That’s just bull$hit. You can’t praise the Fed when stocks go up and then blame tariffs when the Fed raised rates and stocks go down.

They should be complaining that USMCA isn’t through congress yet
