We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Discusses These 10 Stocks & Says President Trump Should Be Like Steve McQueen. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META)’ stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.

In a recent appearance on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, Jim Cramer continued to discuss President Trump and his tariffs. The market wiped out $4 trillion in value since its peak following the election on Monday and Cramer commented on the selloff on Tuesday. Throughout the show, he maintained that the President had to fine-tune his messaging for the tariffs. Recalling President Herbert Hoover, Cramer stated:

“I mean look the President said tariffs are going to be the greatest thing we have ever done as a country. Well I mean remember, Smoot-Hawley, 1930, Hoover. Right. Greatest things gonna happen to our country. 32′, election, wishes he hadn’t said that. Wants to walk it back. Lost by a mile.”

One President whose approach Cramer believes that Trump should consider following is Ronald Raegan. Imploring that ‘meanness’ is not an American value, he shared:

“I love Raegan so, Raegan spoke softly. Look when you look back at the 1980s as being a halcyon period in retrospect. Raegan did it with a happy warrior smile. I don’t see any smile here. I see meanness. America don’t like meanness. That’s not our country. Meanness. We’re not meanness. Be more like Steve McQueen. Who was great. He’s like. . .Robert Vaughn. Don’t give me Robert Vaughn. Give me Yul Brynner.”

The conversation then shifted to markets. While the NASDAQ bled 4% during the day, Cramer shared that Trump prefers to refer to the Dow index as his preferred stock market indicator:

“Right I mean obviously the Dow Jones is not down as much as the NASDAQ. And it is the Dow Jones. It’s always been the Dow Jones with the President. Which is fine. Very meaningful. I do wanna point out that he was more constructive about the idea of linking himself to the market than he is now. Because when he said that you can’t really watch the stock market that’s a little bit of a pivot from what we heard.”

The CNBC TV show host also believes that stock market losses and Trump’s tariff narrative could alienate the President’s working-class base. According to him:

“The stock market’s a decent referendum because everybody sees it. And by the way, the people, the base has a 401(k) and the base has a, they have an IRA. And the base doesn’t wanna lose money. The base works really hard for the IRA to get that up. And this is the IRA under attack. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sending stocks down if companies are doing badly and we’ve heard from a couple, Verizon, we’ve heard some of the airlines. We are in conference season so you’re hearing companies say negative things.
