Jamie Dimon didn’t endorse Trump for president, JPMorgan says

“Jamie has not endorsed any candidate,” Joe Evangelisti, a spokesman for JPMorgan in New York, said in an emailed statement.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday’s social media post. Trump told NBC News he didn’t know about the post and didn’t make it. The post remained on his account as of 3:35 PM in New York.

Although Dimon did not make any endorsements, he was an active voice in the election, writing in one Washington Post an op-ed two months ago that the next US president must work to bring together a “deeply divided” nation as domestic and geopolitical issues mount. In March, before Vice President Kamala Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, she dined with Dimon.

Trump, for his part, said in an interview in June Bloomberg Businessweek that he has changed his view of Dimon, whom he attacked last year as a “highly overrated globalist.” The former president said he could envision Dimon — who is believed to be considering a political career — as “someone I would consider” for Treasury secretary. In late July, Trump said on social media that he never considered Dimon for the post.

Trump has a long history of using Truth Social, the social media platform he founded, to amplify conspiracy theories, make false claims about the 2020 election and attack his political rivals.

Friday’s Truth Social post wasn’t the first time Trump has incorrectly said he was endorsed by a notable name. In August, the former president shared AI-generated footage claiming that pop star Taylor Swift wanted her fans to support Trump. A few weeks later, Swift endorsed Harris.
