Mon Mar 17 14:10:00 UTC 2025: **Mad Money’s Cramer Blames White House Negativity for Market Downturn, Highlights Intel as Potential Buy**
NEW YORK, NY – Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s “Mad Money,” attributed Thursday’s market sell-off to what he described as the White House’s consistently negative messaging about the economy. Cramer argued that President Trump’s pessimistic pronouncements, particularly regarding tariffs, overshadow any positive economic news and create unnecessary uncertainty. He urged a shift towards a more optimistic and balanced public communication strategy from the administration.
“The bad news gets out there all by itself,” Cramer stated. “The White House should focus on celebrating the successes of the business world instead of constantly highlighting the negative.”
Cramer’s commentary included a discussion of several stocks, among them Intel Corporation (INTC). While expressing past reservations about the company, he voiced newfound optimism stemming from the appointment of a new CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, calling Intel a “national treasure” with significant potential. He noted Intel’s recent struggles, with the stock price down over 44% in the past year.
However, Cramer ultimately suggested that artificial intelligence (AI) stocks present more promising investment opportunities in the current market.
