‘Insane!’ CNBC’s Jim Cramer Says He’ll Be ‘Glued To’ Trump-Elon Musk Rally — Compares To JFK

CNBC’s Jim Cramer was enthused at the news that Elon Musk will attend former President Donald Trump’s rally this weekend, calling it “insane!” and telling co-anchors Carl Quintanilla and David Faber he’ll be “glued to it.”

Two of Trump’s most ostentatious signature proposals are his “Operation Wetback”-eclipsing mass deportation program and his massive tariffs on foreign products — both of which have been panned by economic experts.

On Friday morning’s edition of CNBC’s Squawk on the Street , Quintanilla, Faber, and Cramer bantered about the news, and Cramer even compared the Musk-Trump rally to seeing JFK during the 1960 campaign against Richard Nixon — during which Cramer was 5:

JIM CRAMER: I’ve got to tell you, Pennsylvania’s so important. I got. I tried to be you know, I tried to reregister. I mean, like. Yeah, it’s impossible. I, I think. I think I have to buy a piece of the Eagles to be able to reregister.

DAVID FABER: You got Trump going back to–.

JIM CRAMER: Which I would make some changes, just to note.

DAVID FABER: –To Pennsylvania as well and guess–.

JIM CRAMER: Butler.

DAVID FABER: –Who’s going to be with them?

CARL QUINTANILLA: Elon Musk.

DAVID FABER: Elon Musk.

JIM CRAMER: Oh I know. That’s going to be something. You going to be there for that?

DAVID FABER: No I’m going to be busy at the Robotaxi day. No, I’m not going to that either. No I will not be at that–. I don’t cover politics. And in fact, I’m happy to move away from it.

JIM CRAMER: But I do want to say that that’s going to be– of the things that I’ve been interested in my life, in politics.

I got to see JFK, in Cheltenham, PA in the big race against Nixon. This is it!

CARL QUINTANILLA: Trump at Butler?

JIM CRAMER: Trump with Musk! Insane!

CARL QUINTANILLA: So you’ll be there? You’ll be in–.

JIM CRAMER: No I’m saying I’m glued to it! I– No, I said I got to see JFK. I’m not saying I’ll be– I got to see JFK. I worked for RFK.

DAVID FABER: You were very young.

JIM CRAMER: I know.

DAVID FABER: I mean, you’re not that old.

JIM CRAMER: Do you think people say, because I worked for RFK, therefore I am working for Harris, even though it’s like 172 years ago. I worked for Buchanan.

DAVID FABER: People listen to the things you say, Jim. They know you’re not working for Harris.
