Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, has been considering the uncertainty surrounding 2025 and the ongoing macroeconomic challenges that are sparking important questions. One of the main points Cramer has been grappling with is the direction Washington will take in the coming months. He highlighted that, despite two months of processing the election results, there’s still a lack of clarity about what the priorities will be and what Congress might actually pass. Cramer also brought up several important questions about President Donald Trump’s stance on various issues.
“Is president-elect Trump serious about large widespread tariffs or is the tough talk just a negotiating tactic? How serious is Trump about mass deportations? Which, if enacted, would likely have an impact on… the labor market.”

Another major question Cramer raised was about deregulation, how much benefit will companies truly see from it, and how quickly? In terms of corporate taxes, Cramer also noted that the extension of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act seems likely, but he questioned whether Trump might push even further, potentially altering the tax landscape in a more significant way. Perhaps one of the most pressing questions Cramer raised concerned the bond market and its tolerance for large U.S. government budget deficits.
“And considering that last question, here’s a doozy: Will the bond market continue to tolerate big budget deficits from the US government?”
He pointed out that some argue the bond market has already begun to take a more stringent stance on national debt, evident in the rising treasury yields over recent months. Still, Cramer left it at that, suggesting the situation remains uncertain.
“Difficult to answer because as we learned last time, I mean, Donald Trump is not a predictable president, great for cable news ratings, but sometimes frustrating when you’re in the business of making predictions. Hmm, maybe a higher cash position than normal could beckon.”
