— The nation’s top elected leader and its most powerful banker are fighting over who is smarter. Really.
President Donald Trump early Thursday scoffed at JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon’s claim that he could “beat” Trump and is just as tough and smarter than the president.
“The problem with banker Jamie Dimon running for President is that he doesn’t have the aptitude or “smarts” & is a poor public speaker & nervous mess – otherwise he is wonderful,” Trump tweeted. “I’ve made a lot of bankers, and others, look much smarter than they are with my great economic policy.”
He appeared to be responding to Dimon’s remarks first reported by CNBC on Wednesday, in which he told reporters at JPMorgan headquarters in New York that “I think I could beat Trump.”
“Because I’m as tough as he is, I’m smarter than he is. I would be fine,” Dimon said. “He could punch me all he wants, it wouldn’t work with me. I’d fight right back.”

I can’t imaging any president other than Pres. Trump using the term “A nervous mess!” to describe a potential opponent.
Nobody else would be that plainspoken.
Didn’t Diamon wreck the economy when he bundled mortgages and sold derivatives?
Like other members of groups that used to comprise the leadership of the Democrat Party (for instance, the Kennedy’s and other Irish American liberals), Jamie Dimon hasn’t seen the writing on the wall. Sorry, Jamie. Your side has gone all in on identity politics. You can say “I’m not white, I’m _____ (something else)” all you want. They won’t see you that way. It’s the party of Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Tom Perez now. Schumer, Feinstein, Blumenthal, Cardin, even Ron Wyden ... they’re all old and on the way out.
“otherwise he’s wonderful”
This president cracks me up.
Jamie is projecting. He thinks that he is a “Dimon in the Rough.” He always thought that expression was about little Jamie.
He can’t spell and he surely can’t beat President Donald J. Trump!
I do like spelling that out for you all.
Our President’s great economic policies have made that nervous mess Jamie Dimon look much smarter than he really is. Great guy anyway, though. Seriously.
What Dimon doesn’t have is the balls to sustain the attacks that Donald Trump has taken. Dimon would fold like a cheap suit, as soon as the DNC Media started saying terrible things about he and his family. He would put Pee Wee Herman on the Supreme Cour, destroy ICE and open the border if the NY Times told him to. They would easily bend him to their will. Frankly Trump is the only Republican who can take these withering daily attacks and dish it right back. Most would break and become pablum puking liberals.
Dimon’s a goofball if he imagines in his wildest dreams he could be president.
