Jim Cramer: Those who said trade war would hurt US should apologize

First off, I'm not even opposed to the trade war with China. It should have been a unified push between us and our allies, but either way, I'm not opposed to the push for trade reformations.

That said, if the economy is doing well (there are some troubling signs) it's despite the trade war, not because of it. Additionally, a lot of the impact of tarrifs has been offset because the falling price of the Yuan. It's going to take years to see how this all plays out and what the cost/benefits are.

One thing I do know for sure, is that Cramer is a clown. His job is to yell and play with soundbowrds for entertainment. No one with any sense takes what he says seriously.
