As Republican frontrunner Donald Trump inches closer to the nomination following his wins in seven states on Super Tuesday, let's see what "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer has to say on this development. According to Cramer, U.S. companies that do business overseas could see sales dips from Trump's presidency as his campaign is tough on trade, proposing tariffs, militarization around China, cracking down on intellectual property violations and limiting visas. "Trump's rhetoric is bad for stocks that are international, like Starbucks Corporation
SBUX
and General Electric Company
GE
, Cramer said on Squawk on the Street," because companies that are representative of the U.S. could feel a backlash against Trump's policies.

"If I were one of these international companies, I would be saying, 'I don't need this headache. I've got the strong dollar, now I've got the president saying these things,'" Cramer said. Moreover, Chinese consumers might be turned off from items like diapers from Kimberly Clark Corp
