JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is denying claims that he endorsed former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Dimon's denial, through reps, came after Trump shared a screenshot of unknown provenance on Truth Social with the claim that his campaign had the backing of the banking bigwig.

A rep for Dimon quickly corrected the record, telling CNBC that “Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone. He has not endorsed a candidate.” The move was a blow to Trump, who was once rumored to be considering Dimon to lead his Treasury Department. It’s unclear where the post originated. It is still live as of this writing, hours after Dimon’s team denied the endorsement.

Trump told NBC News he was not the one to post the endorsement, implying he may not have sole control over his account. “I don’t know anything about it,” Trump said. “Somebody put it up.”

Friday’s post wasn’t the first time this cycle that Trump lied about receiving a major endorsement: in August, the ex-president posted AI-generated images touting an endorsement from Taylor Swift to Truth Social. Swift later cited that false endorsement as one of her reasons for speaking out against Trump. The pop star endorsed Kamala Harris on the night of her debate against Trump.

1. How to deal with Trump is really pretty simple. Everything he says is a lie. Please media do not keep repeating

Anything he says. Any statement that starts with “Trump says” is nonsense.

4. Unfortunately, Dimon has been calling for a definite recession

and literally doom and glooming our economy for the past 3 years.

10. First thing that came to mind

Actually it was the second thing.
The first was his whining about how billionaires are subject to such abuse by progressives.
Very telling he's not exactly lining up to keep the rapist out of office.

3. I'm glad CNBC did some fact-checking, that's what they ALL should be doing

8. Dimon did say several months ago . . .

Something like he thought Trump would be much better for the economy and it was just short of an endorsement.

5. He'll vote for him anyway.

Hey Jamie, remember how the American tax payers bailout you and your friends out? Maybe you should just STFU.

7. I don't see how his endorsement would be helpful to anyone

unless it came with spending large amounts of his money for the campaign.

9. Dimon would consider heading Treasury?

Why?

11. Why? In order to pocket a couple of billion for himself - ala Steve Mnuchin

Easy money in a Fascist train-wreck of an administration.......

12. I suspect that everyone in the US who knows who Jamie Dimon is

detests him - maybe not quite as much as we detest Trump or Musk, but close. Of course that excludes his know-nothing voter base, but he already has their votes. Not that anything he does makes sense, but it makes no sense to claim the endorsement of someone so hated, even if it were true.
