Cramer blurted out 'What the f—!' during a segment of CNBC's 'Squawk on The Street' after seeing a graphic detailing the United States' recent trade deals with various countries, including a major trade deal made with the European Union on Sunday.
'Our biggest problem is we have so much growth that the Fed won't cut. What the f—!' the co-host exclaimed, regretting it as soon as he said it.
'Oh my God! I'm so sorry,' Cramer said. 'I'm so sorry. I take it right back. I take it right back. That was bad.'
His co-hosts David Faber and Carl Quintanilla reassured their colleague it wasn't a big deal.
'It's OK. It's OK. It's OK!,' Faber told Cramer as he kept apologizing. 'We're in the moment. It's just the way we talk.'

'No, you're fine,' Faber replied, laughing. 'You're absolutely fine. You want me to say one?'
Cramer said, 'No, I just feel like, enough with the rate cut and the economy's booming.'

Trump averted a trade war and notched another win on Sunday. The president and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a trade deal between the U.S. and the European Union that set a 15-percent tariff on most EU goods imported into the U.S.

Von der Leyen said Europe will also purchase $150 billion worth of U.S. energy as part of the deal, in addition to making $600 billion in other investments.
The agreement comes days after Trump secured a $550 billion trade deal with Japan.
'We just completed a massive Deal with Japan, perhaps the largest Deal ever made,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits. This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs — There has never been anything like it.'

Some prominent critics of the president have admitted that they were wrong about the damage Trump's tariffs would do to the economy. Most recently, HBO host Bill Maher admitted on his 'Club Random' podcast that his predictions were incorrect.
'Just to take an example, tariffs. Now I remember that I, along with probably most people, was saying at the beginning, 'Oh, you know, by the 4th of July… the economy was going to be tanked by then,' and I was kind of like, 'Well, that seems right to me,'' he told guest, liberal pundit Brian Tyler Cohen.
'But, that didn't happen,' Maher said. 'It could happen tomorrow. I'm just saying, that's reality, so let's work first from the reality of that, not from 'I just hate Donald Trump,' because that's boring and doesn't get us anywhere and leads you to dishonesty.'

Gifford fire burns 30,000 acres in Los Padres National Forest
The Gifford fire has scorched more than 30,000 acres in less than two days in Los Padres National Forest as firefighters struggle to quell the blaze in the Sierra Madre mountains. Wildland firefighters were continuing to battle the blaze Saturday along Highway 166 in rural Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, about 20 miles east of Santa Maria, according to the U.S. Forest Service and Cal Fire. But fire crews were faced with challenging conditions such as high temperatures, dry vegetation and rugged terrain. As of Saturday evening, the fire was 5% contained and continuing to chew through the tall, dry grass and chaparral that covers the steep hills and mountains. Evacuation orders and warnings were issued for agricultural lands near the unincorporated community of Garey. Although the fire is on federally managed land, Cal Fire crews joined the response to assist with more ground personnel and firefighting aircraft. Criticized on the social media platform X for the fire's explosive growth, Gov. Gavin Newsom's press office reiterated that the fire was not on state land. 'The #GiffordFire started on Trump's federally managed land in the Los Padres NATIONAL Forest,' read the post. 'While Trump just gutted wildfire funding, @CAL_FIRE is now stepping in to clean up what federal mismanagement helped fuel.' Newsom has criticized President Trump for cutting funding for forest management, including activities such as prescribed burning, a process that reduces the risk of explosive fires by proactively burning vegetation in a controlled environment. As of Saturday evening, a California Interagency Incident Management Team — composed of federal, state and county firefighters from various agencies, including the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, National Park Service, Cal Fire, the state's Office of Emergency Services and county-level fire departments — was tasked with taking command of the incident. The fire was first reported about 2 p.m. Friday near Los Padres National Forest's Gifford trailhead, not far from the perimeter of the recently extinguished Madre fire. According to Cal Fire, the blaze had multiple start points along Highway 166. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Trump's ‘Slap in the Face' Puts Neutral Switzerland in Trade-War Crossfire
MEZZOVICO-VIRA, Switzerland—When Nicola Tettamanti looked at his phone Friday morning, his first reaction was disbelief: Overnight, President Trump had slapped Switzerland with close to the highest tariffs of any country in the world. Tettamanti is the chief executive of a 55-year-old precision toolmaking business nestled in this mountain-hugged town. He had planned in the near future to expand further into the U.S. by opening an office in Indiana.

Trump tells Schumer to ‘GO TO HELL' over Senate nominee deal after negotiations blow up
Hours of tense negotiations to strike a deal on President Donald Trump's nominees blew up Saturday night, and now lawmakers are headed home. Senate Republicans and Democrats were quick to point the finger at one another for the deal's demise, but it was ultimately Trump who nuked the talks. Advertisement In a lengthy post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of 'demanding over One Billion Dollars in order to approve a small number of our highly qualified nominees.' 'This demand is egregious and unprecedented, and would be embarrassing to the Republican Party if it were accepted. It is political extortion, by any other name,' Trump said. 'Tell Schumer, who is under tremendous political pressure from within his own party, the Radical Left Lunatics, to GO TO HELL!' 'Do not accept the offer,' he continued. Advertisement 'Go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are, and what a great job the Republicans are doing, and have done, for our Country. Have a great RECESS and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!' Instead of finding a pathway to vote on as many as 60 of the president's nominees, all of which moved through committee with bipartisan support, lawmakers rapid-fire voted on seven before leaving Washington until September. But prior to the president's edict, both sides of the aisle believed they were on the verge of a breakthrough to both meet Trump's desire to see his nominees confirmed and leave Washington. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said that there were 'lots of offers' made between him and Schumer over the course of negotiations. Advertisement 3 President Trump called out Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Truth Social, accusing him of 'demanding over One Billion Dollars in order to approve a small number of our highly qualified nominees.' AP 'There were several different times where I think either or both sides maybe thought there was a deal in the end,' he said. Senate Democrats wanted the White House to unfreeze billions in National Institute of Health and foreign aid funding, in addition to a future agreement that no more clawback packages would come from the White House. In exchange, they would greenlight several of Trump's non-controversial nominees. Advertisement Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., accused Schumer of going 'too far' by upping the price tag on his demands. 3 Trump also said in his post, 'Go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are, and what a great job the Republicans are doing, and have done, for our Country.' 'We've had three different deals since last night,' he said. 'And every time it's been, every time it's 'I want more,'' Mullin said of Schumer's demands. He said that Republicans weren't caught off guard by Trump's call to halt talks, and noted that the White House had been heavily involved in negotiations. 'You get to a realization that there was, it was never about making a deal,' he continued. 3 Lawmakers decided to only vote on 7 of Trump's 60 nominees for positions in his administration. AP 'They want to go out and say the President's being unrealistic, and because he can't answer to his base to make a deal like we have in every other president in history.' Advertisement Now, Republicans won't pursue recess appointments, but Mullin noted that moving ahead with a rule changes to the confirmation process when lawmakers return in September was going to happen in response. Senate Democrats, on the other hand, countered that their offer never changed, and that Republicans kept increasing the number of nominees they wanted across the line, and attempted to include in more controversial, partisan picks. 'The ask evolved on both sides quite a bit over time,' Thune said. 'But in the end, we never got to a place where we had both sides agree to lock it in.'
