It isn't all too often that Jim Cramer looks quite choked up on television. While he didn't start yelling on air as he did in the months leading up to the great stock market crash of 2008 (which was great timing by Jim), Cramer said he felt “like a sucker” as he sat down with CNN to discuss the extreme stock market selling that followed President Trump's Liberation Day.

Costco Wholesale Corp. (NASDAQ: COST) stock is 3% lower over the past five days.

This past week, President Donald Trump announced his full plan for tariffs on imports -- a list of duties varying by country that could make a wide range of goods pricier for U.S. companies and consumers. Stocks sank in the session following the news, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq even posted their worst performances since 2020.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes have declined about 8% and 14%, respectively, so far this year. Concerns about soaring tariffs, sticky inflation, and elevated interest rates have driven many investors away from stocks and toward more predictable income investments.
