Jamie Dimon says he could beat Trump in an election: 'I'm smarter than he is'
CNBC ^ | Sept. 12, 2018 | Hugh Son

JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Jamie Dimon picked a fight with President Donald Trump -- and immediately regretted it.

“I think I could beat Trump” in an election, the Wall Street executive said at an event Wednesday morning that was supposed to celebrate his firm’s philanthropy. “I’m as tough as he is, I’m smarter than he is.”

By noon, the bank sent out a statement from its chairman and chief executive officer backtracking completely: “I should not have said it. I’m not running for president. Proves I wouldn’t make a good politician. I get frustrated because I want all sides to come together to help solve big problems.”

At least he had the sense to retract it.

Companies that choose to play politics alienate half their potential customers. It’s a stupid move unless your product is partisan in some manner.

If Dimon is so smart, why didn’t he become President first?

It might be more honest if we just directly appointed the chairman of JPMorgan Chase to be the president. That’s who really mostly runs the country anyway.

I admire business people who stay away from politics.

"...I get frustrated because I want all sides to come together to help solve big problems..."

He obviously isn't smart enough to understand that in the current scorched earth political environment fostered by the Left, that him saying that makes him look like a grade school dweeb with glitter glued to a paper looking for a gold star.

Foot in mouth moment

At least he admitted to his mistake, so I guess he won’t be running as a Democrat then.

“In Wednesday’s original comments, he indicated that its unlikely a rich banker could defeat a liberal candidate.”

Why would he want to, when he could just finance and control one?

Mr. Dimon might consider using correct grammar when making such foolish and unsupportable claims about being smart.

Because he didn't want to take the pay cut. It's much easier to steal money from taxpayers as a BIG bankster than it is as POTUS.

If the smartest woman in the World could not beat President Trump, what made him think he could.
