Lately, Jamie Dimon has been channeling his soul Hamlet, which is wholly out-of-character for nan usually decisive JPMorgan boss.
If you’re a regular scholar of “On The Money,” you mightiness callback our scoop backmost successful nan Sept. 12 version that Dimon – contempt being rumored to subordinate a imaginable Trump management if The Donald is elected successful November – is really a closet progressive and is supporting Kamala Harris successful nan autumn classic.

Jamie Dimon has been channeling his soul Hamlet, which is wholly out-of-character for nan JPMorgan boss. Jack ForbesWell, it seems that nan Times is simply a small precocious pinch Jamie’s latest temper swing. A root adjacent to Dimon who has nonstop knowledge of his reasoning (and don’t beryllium amazed if this changes) now tells On The Money that “Jamie is not seeking immoderate furniture position and will not beryllium joining either Administration.”
It’s not overseas that some candidates mightiness want a portion of Dimon aft nan election. Someone arsenic vapid arsenic Harris on each things economical could usage his accomplishment set. Trump’s fixation pinch Dimon chiefly stems from picking his furniture arsenic a high-stakes type of “The Apprentice.” He likes group pinch prima powerfulness and who look bully successful nan role.
The 68-year-old Dimon surely fits that measure arsenic nan highly successful main of nan nation’s biggest bank. He kept JPM mostly retired of nan 2008 financial debacle and mostly scandal-free during his astir 20 years astatine nan helm. Plus, he still has astir of his hair.
But Dimon has a Kamalaesque woke broadside arsenic I constituent retired successful my caller book, “Go Woke Go Broke; The Inside Story of nan Radicalization of Corporate America.” And he likes to virtue-signal, which intends you tin spot really he mightiness beryllium tempted to spell to DC and prevention nan world from MAGAism.

The defense group is foisting progressive boardroom practices connected awesome companies (they’re large successful pushing nan extremist Diversity Equity & Inclusion hiring policies) and if you publication their website, they are trying to conclusion Trump successful nan statesmanlike race.
So why is Dimon backing disconnected Harris now? It’s not conscionable his soul Hamlet. He besides sounds nan polls, and nan past point he needs moving a highly regulated large slope is Donald Trump connected his lawsuit arsenic president.
