We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Was Talking About These 10 Stocks Amid Trump’s Trade Wars. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc (NASDAQ:CBRL) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer was talking about amid Trump’s trade wars.
Jim Cramer in a latest program on CNBC urged investors to start accepting the reality of the new economic system under President Trump and said the new tariffs will result in higher prices and more volatility. Cramer said Trump does not “care” about stock prices or inflation and wants to punish the country’s trading partners.
“Yes, I want this over. Yes, I want clarity. I want some sense of how this can all end, but that makes me a fool like the rest of us. We keep thinking that’s the point. That’s how… that’s not how Trump sees it. Here is the point: we should simply be looking at companies that cater to small- and medium-sized businesses that can’t be hurt by tariffs. We need to accept a higher level of inflation because it’s coming. We should take our out some money and put it on the sidelines, betting that this will end someday, even if we don’t know when. But right now, we have to get with the program and the president. The program is taking down our trading partners and hurting bottom lines all over the place. He doesn’t care. He demonstrated that tonight. So you better get used to it.”

Jim Cramer in a recent program on CNBC said Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc (NASDAQ:CBRL) is a buy despite being a “work in progress.”
“I’m really interested in this. It’s a stock that’s fallen drastically over the past few weeks, but that’s not without reason either, with management blaming not just the weather, but also macroeconomic uncertainty as a reason for some of the challenges in early February. That’s suboptimal. So, what’s there to like about it? Then how about the stellar set of numbers that the company just reported yesterday morning, with much better-than-expected same-store sales growth? Macro uncertainty is already baked into Cracker Barrel’s four-year forecast at this point, which they raised, by the way, while management admitted that February got off to a challenging start. They said the last two weeks have seen meaningful improvement. I like that. Cracker Barrel is still very much a work in progress, something that CEO Julie Masino is quite candid about on the conference call. At this point, the stock’s almost pulled back to where it was trading when I started recommending it last summer. A U-turn? I think Cracker Barrel is a buy.”
