JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has been communicating with Donald Trump in recent months through secret back channels, helping the president-elect hammer out a policy agenda before and since his decisive White House victory, The Post has learned.
The 68-year-old Wall Street titan — who, like 78-year-old Trump, grew up in Queens in New York City — has acted as “a sounding board” for the incoming commander-in-chief’s economic manifesto, four sources close to Trump’s transition team said.
One GOP insider said the president-elect’s inner circle held a series of “no-holds-barred conversations” with Dimon — who at the time was rumored to be eyeing a government job himself.
“They have been speaking regularly for months,” said another GOP source briefed on the situation.
Three of the sources close to Trump said the secret back channel focused on plans for cutting government spending, banking regulation, taxes and trade.

Man crush? Oh, get out of here, Rupert Murdoch. Elon's going to be jealous if he finds out that President Trump has a man crush on someone else...

Don’t you love how these anti-Trumpers come up with the little boy phrases? Whiners.

Not buying it. It may be true but not one name confirms it. This isn't news, it's gaslighting.

He's a globalist and I don't understand what Trump sees in him at all.

“Secretly communicating”: it might be fun to shut down Ukraine or other pressure points, and find out when the ‘Rat talking points disappear.

Contrast that with who the democrats use as sounding boards and examples to follow, namely Venezuela and Cuba and China and even Russia. Xi is likely the democrats' economic icon, and Biden has good friends in that country (Hunter does too). Kamala was following the communist economic model for her economic messaging during the election campaign.
And now, after their losses, democrats are doubling down on their insane agenda.

Who better to speak with other than someone who understands and has experience with the Federal bureaucracy and
government regulations, a complex financial situation after the Dems have been running up the national debt
other than someone who has been there, is aware of the pit- falls, and still has been successful;
at the very least you have been exposed to the globalist perspective.
Just because you seek information from a 'Globalist', doesn't mean that you have adopted his world view and accepted it.

I have always lived my life under the principle of seeking out advice and input from as many others as I feel necessary. A wise man always seeks counsel.
