He likes Jamie, but he probably doesn’t trust Jamie. That’s the underlying message from a Truth Social post and reports from people close to President-Elect Donald Trump regarding his choice to keep JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon out of the next administration.
I respect Jamie Dimon, of JPMorgan Chase, greatly, but he will not be invited to be a part of the Trump Administration. I thank Jamie for his outstanding service to our Country!
The leader of one of the world’s largest private banks has been floated as participating in Trump’s second term in the White House, but Trump shut down those rumors with his post.
According to Fox Business:
Trump has been critical of Dimon in the past, most recently last year, when he referred to the JPMorgan boss as a “Highly overrated Globalist” on his Truth Social platform.
Over the summer, the former president told Bloomberg he would consider Dimon to serve as Treasury secretary if he wins a second term in the White House, before walking back those comments a week later.
Dimon condemned the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters, but he also recently praised some of Trump’s positions and policies.
During the GOP primaries, Dimon backed former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
