Jamie Dimon says what everyone else is thinking.

"I think I could beat Trump... because I'm as tough as he is, I'm smarter than he is," Dimon said at an event in New York City on Wednesday, adding: "And by the way, this wealthy New Yorker actually earned his money. It wasn't a gift from daddy."
That 's a joke!
Jamie Dimon is a cruddy representative of the Investment Bankers who have destroyed the American economy. He has made a $1.4 billion leeching off the lifeblood of real workers. His bank, JP Morgan Chase, was one of the 5 witches of global finance that were 'too Big to Fail'.
They cackled around the Mortgage and Derivatives Cauldron which brought on the 2008 Financial collapse that threw hundreds of thousand of familes into homelessness and decimated the productive economy of the world. Dimon subsequently payed himself and his gangster pals hundreds of $millions in bonuses from the Bailout money provided by the Congress and his croney George W. Bush.
Dimon hasn't earned an honest dollar is his life. He prospers on the avails of usury while bringing entire nation states to their knees with private debt (like Greece).
Trump, for all his faults, received $2 million from his Daddy from which he grew a net worth of between $4 - $10 billion (depending on whose figures you believe.). He did so by building things; something Dimon has never done.
Say what you will about Trump's business tactics, his 'gentrification' of New York City, his kitschy aesthetic tastes.. he a small group of real estate developers returned NYC from a crime ridden, decaying, wasteland of the 1970s to one world's 'Great', most prosperous, and elegant cities.
Dimon is a leech and a liar. I invite him to run for President but he hasn't got the guts and he certainly doesn't have the vision. He'd rather lecture from on high as to why such 'able' and 'noble' personages as himself are so scarce in government. That's because under any honest scrutiny their records would show their true repulsive image like that of Dorian Gray.
What the Investment Banks are really worried about is that Economic Nationalism will finally force governments to break them up. To divide Consumer and Investment Banking into independent, well regulated, managably sized, corporate entities as existed before Clinton deregulated the industry. It would impose strict oversight and regulation of credit and renationalize the currency which was been layed waste by Monetarism, free trade in currency and credit.
That would break up the global financial shell game that they use to scam a huge claim on the world's productive economy while providing nothing themselves. Then they would be earning perhaps 5 or 10 times what a skilled labourer does, instead of 1000 times as they do now. They also worry that ultimately economic nationalism is integrally related to progressive taxation and especially on capital gains which allows them to pay taxes at a fraction of that on honest labour.
Jamie Dimon you pathetic little stinker. I hope you for President where your real record can by exposed to the public. But i know you have neither the courage nor the integrity to do so.
