Cramer is a mouthpiece for the investor class, which is probably like the top 5%. He'll say anything a CEO wants him to say and basically supports massive deregulation. While the billionaire class isn't really concerned, the millionaires don't like this.

So what you're saying is that him speaking up about Trump is a clear sign that his bosses wants him to?

A lot of investors are coming out of the woodwork, either with timid public comments or via reporters. Kramer is likely being used as a mouthpiece for these comments.

They probably thought Trump was going to given like his first term, not really doing anything except pushing tax cuts and gutting regulators. That the S&P500 is down over 12% from last month can cause major issues for some investors. Not every investor is Warren Buffett.
