CEO of JP Morgan Chase Boasted That He Could Beat Donald Trump in 2020 and Trump Just Responded

Okayyy.

Make us preferred on Google

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon drew the ire of President Donald Trump Thursday morning after Dimon suggested he could beat Trump in a hypothetical 2020 presidential bid.


Dimon was speaking at an event at his company's Manhattan headquarters on Wednesday, where he said he was "smarter" than Trump and could easily defeat him.

"I think I could beat Trump," Dimon said. "Because I'm as tough as he is, I'm smarter than he is."

Dimon hinted that he was tougher than the president, saying that Trump "could punch me all he wants, it wouldn't work with me. I'd fight right back."

The 62-year-old CEO and megadonor to the Democratic Party also took a swipe at Trump's wealth: "And by the way, this wealthy New Yorker actually earned his money," Dimon said. "It wasn't a gift from Daddy," referring to the millions of dollars Trump inherited from his real estate developer father Fred.

Dimon quickly walked back his comments, however, and enthusiastically denied any intention of running for president.

"I should not have said it. I'm not running for President," he said. "Proves I wouldn't make a good politician. I get frustrated because I want all sides to come together to help solve big problems."

In his first tweet of the day on Thursday, Trump fired back at Dimon as only Trump can, chiding Dimon as "a poor public speaker" and "nervous mess."

"The problem with banker Jamie Dimon running for President is that he doesn’t have the aptitude or “smarts” & is a poor public speaker & nervous mess - otherwise he is wonderful," Trump said in a pre-dawn tweet. "I’ve made a lot of bankers, and others, look much smarter than they are with my great economic policy!"

Twitter jumped to Dimon's defense, with many agreeing that he is probably smarter than Trump.

Trump himself wasn't shown much mercy.

Trump's tweets are becoming increasingly erratic - he's tweeted over 30 times in the last two days.

And if you read the transcripts from his rallies, you'll see Trump rarely speaks in complete sentences.

Then there was this gem in Montana last week.

Harsh, but not necessarily wrong.

This person has a point.

The president's behavior speaks for itself.

Well, tweets count as official government statements under the Presidential Records Act, so yeah, he's serious.

For some inexplicable reason, Bari Weiss' CBS News decided Katie Miller, the wife of Trump White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, was the expert to consult on why Tuesday's results went so badly for her husband's boss and her husband's Project 2025 Christian nationalist, White supremacist agenda.

Dems Share Important Reminder As Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' Is Set To Take Effect In January

After Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration, people are sharing reminders that President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is set to take effect in January and that Americans could blame Democrats for stipulations Republicans put in the bill.

According to The Washington Post, the bill "includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending." The Post noted that the $3 trillion package "partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps (SNAP), which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud."

Texas Election Results Reveal Just How Badly James Talarico Beat Ken Paxton—And We Love To See It

While election results in Texas have still not been fully tallied, the unofficial results have revealed that the election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total.

The scale of Talarico’s victory was evident in the early-voting figures. He received 5,444,982 votes overall, including 4,397,474 cast before Election Day. Paxton, by comparison, finished with 4,249,373 votes, of which 3,232,667 were early ballots. In other words, Talarico secured nearly 150,000 more votes during early voting alone than Paxton received across the entire election.
