times and unnecessarily destroyed his reputation. There was a lot of good will for Dimon because of his negotiating skills and a certain amount of guts during the Great Recession. A year ago he began giving bizarre interviews in which he said he was "leaning towards Trump" and continued to say good things about him.

Experienced economists were puzzled by Dimon because our economy was the envy of the world, so strong it helped to stabilize other nations.

Be that as it may, Dimon continued to sound anxious and nervous in interviews about the economy and politics, "leaning towards Trump" and then abruptly, around mid-summer, switching teams. So Forbes leaked that he was supporting Biden and then Harris, but didn't seem to want anyone to know about it. Then after Trump wins, Dimon leaps aboard Team Trump, praising an (obviously) incompetent economic policy and sounding like an actual half-wit who has zero experience in finance and banking.

The only mitigating factor is that IMO he has sounded scared and scatterbrained in interviews, of which my takeaway is he actually has been scared about the domestic and global economy and his anxiety is manifesting in these stupid and hard-to-comprehend ways.
