Veteran CNBC anchor Jim Cramer visibly recoiled in horror after he accidently cursed live on air.
The longtime Mad Money host was discussing President Donald Trump’s recent trade deal with the European Union Monday when he made the embarrassing flub.
‘Our biggest problem is we have so much growth that the Fed won’t cut -,’ Cramer began, as a graphic popped up on screen showing the trade deals Trump has made thus far with the European Union, United Kingdom, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam.
‘What the f***,’ he then said. ‘Jesus Christ.’
The strong language seemed to surprise Squawk on the Street co-anchors David Faber and Carl Quintanilla.
Faber exclaimed, ‘Oh my God.’
Cramer also instantly regretted his choice of words, and began apologizing profusely.
‘So sorry. I’m so sorry,’ he said as the camera panned back to the anchors. ‘I take it right back. I take it right back.
‘That was bad. That was bad,’ he continued, as he dug his face into his hand.

Faber then tried to reassure his colleague.
‘We’re in the moment,’ he said. ‘It’s just the way we talk. It’s cable with a ticker as Conan [O’Brien] would say.’
Quintanilla added that it was ‘real people doing live TV’ as he tried to steer the conversation back to the topic at hand.
But Cramer continued to apologize, even joking to Faber that, ‘I’m done. I think I’m out of here.’
‘No you’re fine,’ Faber insisted. ‘You want me to say one?’
Cramer, though, said it was OK as he tried to explain his actions.
‘No, I just feel like, enough with the rate cut and the economy’s booming.’
The longtime anchor also took to X to ‘apologize to all viewers’ of the show.
‘I was too effusive in making my point about the great economy we have,’ he wrote.
Trump on Sunday announced he had reached a ‘very powerful’ trade deal with the European Union. He is pictured with European Union Commission Chair Ursula von der Leyen
Cramer’s flamboyant remarks came just one day after Trump announced he had reached a ‘very powerful’ trade deal with the European Union that would lower barriers to U.S. exports and bring new European investments into the U.S.
‘We wanted to rebalance the trade relations,’ said EU Commission Chair Ursula von der Leyen, confirming the agreement while sitting alongside Trump.
Under the agreement, European Union countries would purchase $750 billion of energy from the U.S., and provide an additional $600 billion in U.S. investments.
Most European Union goods imported into the United States would also be subject to a 15 percent tariff.
Trump called it ‘a very powerful deal’ as well as ‘a very big deal.
‘It’s the biggest of all the deals.’ he said, calling it ‘the biggest deal ever made.’
