We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Says Trump’s Tariff Strategy Is Working & Discusses These 11 Stocks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discussed.
In a recent appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer discussed the outcomes of President Trump’s tariffs and whether Trump is hostile to the markets. March has been marked by a massive stock market selloff which wiped off trillions of dollars in value as investors grew uncertain about the US economy and the tariff narrative. Commenting on these developments, Cramer remarked:
“I believe that the President watches CNBC. I think the President recognizes that perhaps it would be good to start narrowing things down. He’s made some real progress. I mean there’s companies that seem to decide to put plants here everyday. Right? I mean, it’s working. And he doesn’t want to destroy the market. I think that there’s this perception that he doesn’t care anymore. I think that’s bogus. I think he cares tremendously. I think that it’s a canard that he doesn’t. I don’t know about our Treasury Secretary, even though he’s 35 years in the market. . .But I do think that the President cares passionately about the market. That was a misdirection play.”
Along with discussing Trump’s thoughts on the markets, Cramer also commented on whether Trump’s strategies are yielding results. The CNBC TV show host has supported tariffs in his previous appearances as he believes that America’s trading partners are being unfair. Cramer believes Trump’s strategy is working:
“His strategy’s working. Because these countries are caving. And these companies are caving. And they’re building things here. You know we see them all the time. Korean companies are now folding. European companies will fold. Because they’re afraid. They’re afraid of him. And it’s working. That strategy’s working. What’s not working is the idea that tomorrow he might change it. He’s gotta stick with this. What he said this week it’s gotta stay. That’s what has to happen. You can’t change again tomorrow, say that you’re not reciprocal, we’re going blunderbuss. Cause reciprocal’s what business wants. Blunderbuss protection they don’t want. Over and over again I heard that this morning. Over and over again.”
As for China, Cramer doesn’t trust the country. He believes that the Chinese government is “playing one hand military and in the other hand they’re inviting people over,” in regards to major American companies’ executives meeting Chinese government officials.

Despite the fact that NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s shares are down by 16.6% year-to-date, Cramer continues to be a bull on the shares. He believes that the firm’s CEO Jensen Huang has the right perspective when it comes to the demand for its AI GPUs. Cramer has also blasted day traders and zero-day options, who he blames for the volatility in NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s share price. Fresh off of the firm’s GTC conference, here are his recent thoughts about the firm:
“They will spend $5 trillion if they had it.”
“And I called them out on that. I called Jensen. . .yeah, I’m a believer because, look when you look Jensen in the eye and you can do that, I mean this guy’s like a for real guy, and you say look, I don’t believe any of this, well he just says well then you ought to go do more work. He does it much more politely than that. But he just then lists all the people and the things who want it.”
“No, I mean there’s no one near them. I, visited a facility, data center. . .and you just get the sense that there’s NVIDIA, and then everyone else is a distant two, three, four, like nowhere.”
Overall, NVDA ranks 3rd on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. While we acknowledge the potential of NVDA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than NVDA but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
