Like Bartiromo, Cramer additionally pushed again on Biden’s absurd arguments that he inherited a “very unhealthy financial system” from former President Donald Trump.
“The truth is that [Biden] inherited a sturdy financial system constructed on a powerful basis, constructed on decrease laws, decrease taxes,” Cramer stated. “The explanation we had been capable of come again so shortly after COVID was due to the inspiration that was constructed by the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress previous to the pandemic.”
