CNBC host Jim Cramer swears on live TV.
FOX News reported on Cramer’s misstatement.
CNBC host Jim Cramer’s excitement about President Donald Trump’s latest trade deal got the better of him on Monday.
Cramer blurted out “What the f—!” during a segment of CNBC’s “Squawk on The Street” after seeing a graphic detailing the United States’ recent trade deals with various countries, including a major trade deal made with the European Union on Sunday.
“Our biggest problem is we have so much growth that the Fed won’t cut. What the f—!” the co-host exclaimed, regretting it as soon as he said it.
“Oh my God! I’m so sorry,” Cramer said. “I’m so sorry. I take it right back. I take it right back. That was bad.”
His co-hosts David Faber and Carl Quintanilla reassured their colleague it wasn’t a big deal.
“It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK!,” Faber told Cramer as he kept apologizing. “We’re in the moment. It’s just the way we talk.”
