CNBC's Jim Cramer drops F-bomb live on air while marveling over Trump's ‘great economy'
CNBC host Jim Cramer's excitement about President Donald Trump's latest trade deal got the better of him on Monday. 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.' 4 Cramer blurted out 'What the f—!' during a segment of CNBC's 'Squawk on The Street'. MSNBC 'Real people doing live TV,' Quintanilla added. Cramer continued: 'I'm done. I think I'm out of here.' '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.' 4 '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.' REUTERS The anchor also apologized on X following the appearance. He wrote, 'I apologize to all viewers. I was too effusive in making my point about the great economy we have..' 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. 4 His co-hosts David Faber and Carl Quintanilla reassured their colleague it wasn't a big deal. MSNBC 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.' 4 The agreement comes days after Trump secured a $550 billion trade deal with Japan. via REUTERS 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.'

PayPal Launches Pay With Crypto, Expanding Its Push Into Digital Currencies
PayPal says Pay With Crypto lets purchases settle almost instantly, makes international payments easier and could cut transaction fees by as much as 90%. chameleonseye/Getty Images PayPal is doubling down on crypto, on Monday launching Pay With Crypto, a new feature that lets customers use Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies at checkout with millions of merchants worldwide. While PayPal has been investing in crypto in previous years, this move aims to provide easier cross-border transactions and an almost-instant settlement, and reduce transaction fee savings of up to 90%. When someone chooses to pay with crypto, PayPal automatically converts the digital coins into local currency for the seller. This means merchants don't have to handle crypto themselves, or worry about price swings since they get paid in dollars or their local money, just like any other transaction. PayPal says this could help businesses save money on fees, especially for international sales. "Businesses of all sizes face incredible pressure when growing globally, from increased costs for accepting international payments to complex integrations," Alex Chriss, president and CEO of PayPal, said in the press release. "We're removing these barriers and helping every business of every size achieve their goals." The company also points out that this is part of its bigger plan to make crypto more practical for everyday use, not just investing. Back in April, CNET reported that PayPal teamed up with Coinbase to offer crypto rewards for its stablecoin PYUSD, as well as new incentives for using its app to manage digital assets. And now, PayPal is clearly signaling it wants to move crypto beyond just buying and holding, and into everyday commerce. PayPal says Pay With Crypto works seamlessly within its existing checkout experience. When paying online, eligible users will see crypto as a payment option alongside credit cards and bank accounts. The crypto is instantly converted to fiat currency behind the scenes, so merchants don't have to handle any digital coins directly. PayPal says the system currently supports 100 cryptocurrencies, with plans to expand. PayPal first opened up crypto buying and selling in 2020, but this is the biggest push so far to make spending it part of everyday online shopping. The company says Pay With Crypto will roll out to US users first, with more countries to follow.
