JPMorgan Chase’s CEO: Trump ‘grew the economy’ and was ‘right’ on critical issues​



Big finance is giving off some interesting signals as the 2024 election draws closer, including JPMorgan Chase’s longtime CEO Jamie Dimon, when he sang the praises of former President Donald Trump on CNBC.

“You have all these very powerful forces that are going to be affecting us in ‘24 and ‘25, so if I was the government, I would be preparing for what I’m going to do about that, assuming things aren’t good,” Dimon told the reporter.

“I wish the Democrats would think a little more carefully when they talk about MAGA, you know, and if you travel this country,” Dimon continued, “I don’t think they’re voting for Trump because of his family values.”

“If you take a step back, be honest, he was kind of right about NATO, kind of right about immigration. He grew the economy quite well, tax reform worked, he was right about some of China,” he said, adding, “He wasn’t wrong about some of these critical issues.”

Jill Savage of “Blaze News Tonight” is curious as to whether or not Dimon’s sentiments reflect his colleagues.

“Who would you say big finance is backing at this election?” Savage asks Ten31 managing partner Marty Bent.

“I think it’s pretty clear it's got to be Donald Trump,” Bent tells Savage and Matthew Peterson.

“If you’re looking for some certainty in terms of economic policy in the next administration, like you mentioned, it doesn’t seem like Kamala has a policy at all.”

Peterson points out that there’s one issue with this prediction.

“We have a little problem in the last couple decades, which is that big finance, and big money in general, is not allowed to say that they support anyone other than sort of the Borg, and that’s the Democrats now,” Peterson says.

“So it’s an interesting predicament,” he adds.

Rumor has it an elite-owned firm shorted Trump stock the day before the attempted assassination. Could it be true?



When it comes to Trump’s almost-assassination, the nation is still very much in the dark. Questions need answering, but that’s not really happening. People, therefore, are left to self-investigate and come to their own conclusions.

Right now, there’s a conspiracy theory circulating about a firm linked to George Soros, BlackRock, and the Bush family shorting the stock for the Trump Media & Technology Group on the day before the attempted Trump assassination.

Author and former investment banker Carol Roth joins Glenn Beck on the show to shed light on the theory.

“This is what I found based on publicly available information,” she begins.

The firm in question, Austin Private Wealth, had to file a 13F, which is a “disclosure filing that’s required quarterly from any investment manager that has more than one hundred million dollars in assets.”

Since “it takes a little bit of time to gather the data” for a 13F, it’s “usually filed within a few weeks after the end of the quarter,” Roth explains.

“The filing for Austin Wealth as of the end of June was made on July 12th,” meaning that the Trump stock was not actually shorted on July 12; it was simply filed on that date.

Second, the firm “had a third-party vendor, according to their press release, that had erroneously misstated their positions,” Roth continues.

Apparently “for the Trump Media Group, instead of putting 12 contracts, which represented 1200 shares ... it showed that they had 12 million share equivalents.”

“That sounds a little sketchy ... but they did that on every single call and put option that they had listed,” Roth clarifies, adding that “this was a clear error across the board.”

Skeptical, Roth “went back and checked all of the previous filings,” and she found that “in all of the previous filings, they had a normalized number of contracts being shown, so it was clear this was a mistake, and it was an outlier.”

With the Austin Private Wealth conspiracy theory essentially debunked, Glenn then asks Roth about the CrowdStrike outage scandal.

To hear her opinion on whether the debacle was “intentional,” a poor “test run,” or “incompetence,” watch the clip above.

JPMorgan CEO delivers brutal reality check straight to the heart of Democrats for attacking Trump supporters: 'Grow up'



JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is trying to offer Democrats and the media political wisdom about Donald Trump.

Speaking on CBNC's "Squawk Box," Dimon warned on Wednesday that constantly attacking Trump, his supporters, and the "Make America Great Again" agenda will ultimately backfire on President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.

"I think this negative talk about MAGA is going to hurt Biden's election campaign," Dimon predicted. "I wish the Democrats would think a little more carefully when they talk about MAGA."

The billionaire banker was referring to the Democratic Party's habit of mocking Trump supporters as "deplorable" or simple-minded Americans who hug "their Bibles and their beer and their guns."

"Can we stop that stuff and actually grow up and treat other people respectfully and listen to them a little bit?" Dimon said. "I think people should be a little more respectful of our fellow citizens."

In fact, Dimon suggested those in the media need to be more introspective and they need try to understand why so many Americans support Trump.

For Dimon — who personally identifies as someone with a "Democrat heart and a Republican brain" — the reasons why Americans support Trump are clear: Trump "wasn't wrong" about some of the most pressing issues impacting America and the world today.

"When people say MAGA, they're actually looking at people voting for Trump and they're basically scapegoating them — that you are like him — but I don't think they're voting for Trump because of his family values," Dimon said.

"If you just take a step back, be honest: He's kind of right about NATO. Kind of right about immigration. He grew the economy quite well," he explained. "Tax reform worked. He was right about some with China. I don't like how he said things about Mexico— but he wasn't wrong about some of these critical issues. And that's why they're voting for him."

During his interview, Dimon also provided his economic forecast and warned against wearing rose-colored glasses.

"I think it is a mistake to assume that everything is hunky-dory," he said.

"When stock markets are up, it's kind of like this little drug we all feel, like it's just great," he continued. "But remember, we've had so much fiscal monetary stimulation so I'm a little more on the cautious side that we are facing a lot of things in '24 or '25 and we mentioned Ukraine, the terrorist activity in Israel, the Red Sea, quantitative tightening ... and obviously the politics."
