We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Discusses These 11 Stocks & President Trump’s Sovereign Wealth Fund. In this article, we are going to take a look at where NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stands against stocks that Jim Cramer discusses with insights on President Trump’s Sovereign Wealth Fund.
In his latest appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer discussed President Trump’s tariffs on Mexico and their impact on the car industry. Large US car manufacturers, particularly the firm that makes the F-150 truck, have their manufacturing plants based in Mexico. As a result, they can face significant disruption if import costs from the country increase in the aftermath of tariffs.
However, while American car manufacturers are dependent on Mexico, Cramer pointed out that Japanese and South Korean car companies depend on their respective countries for imports. Since neither country has been targeted by tariffs, he wondered whether they could be next.
Another one of Trump’s remarks that caught the CNBC TV host’s attention was his demand that the Federal Reserve lower interest rates. The President has preferred low interest rates for quite some time, and his remarks in January that stressed that he would call on central banks worldwide to lower rates weakened the US dollar. Commenting on Trump’s statements, Cramer wondered “is this discord or is it just a recognition that’s just not the way to go.” He added, “I think the Treasury Secretary has won the President over in terms of the notion of, listen I’ve got it under control, let me handle it, you don’t need to yell at the Fed.”
Cramer believes that simply demanding that the Federal Reserve lower interest rates might not yield any results. Referring to co-host David Faber, he shared “David, yelling at the Fed, yelling at Jerome Powell, sucker’s game. Doesn’t get you anywhere.” Cramer believes “The President doesn’t want to get in a sucker’s game where he yells at the guy, and the guy then says look I really don’t care what this President says. Because he doesn’t like. . . . He likes fealty.”
Another government official Cramer mentioned was Commerce Secretary Scott Bessent. In his previous shows, Cramer has praised Bessent and shared that he has heard good things about the Secretary. He maintained the positivity and shared:
“This guy [Secretary Bessent] he’s making a lot of sense I don’t know how he’s going to [get] the oil up . . .three million barrels. But I would say that he’s a supreme intellect, and people who know him or read about him are kind of saying, wow, this guy’s a stand up, take notice. . . he’s a great practitioner of the game.”
Cramer also wondered how the President would “pay for the sovereign wealth fund without that fifty-year bond?” The President recently signed an executive order to create a US Sovereign Wealth Fund. When Faber pointed out that it was pointless for America to create such a fund, Cramer replied “Well the President says he wants a sovereign wealth fund. He doesn’t say these things idly, he’s thought them through.”

AI GPU giant NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) was the worst-hit stock during the DeepSeek selloff in terms of market value as the firm nearly lost $600 billion in valuation during the panic. Since the selloff, Cramer has stressed that investors need to be on the lookout for reduced data center spending at big tech and stressed that NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s Blackwell GPUs offer key features for humanoid robots. His latest remarks about the firm were in the context of cloud computing giant Amazon’s earnings:
“Well what’s hurt this period, it is the NVIDIA quiet period. And if Jensen were to come out and say you know what I hope this stuff goes to zero because then you’ll be able to use a part of Blackwell that is so great. Which I think is true. In other words there was another recommendation today of NVIDIA, they’re obviously trying to give it so it stabilizes but I think that NVIDIA, if we hear tonight that Amazon says you know what, we gotta spend and our Trainium isn’t going to do it, we remain great partners of NVIDIA. If we hear remain great partners of NVIDIA, David, NVIDIA goes to two forty five.”
Overall, NVDA ranks 3rd on our list of stocks that Jim Cramer discusses with insights on President Trump’s Sovereign Wealth Fund.
