After attacking Trump, JPMorgan chief now says the president has done ‘pretty good’ with economy

Appearing on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Dimon was asked “what kind of grade” he would give Trump just on the economy. “I’d say pretty good,” Dimon said.

“You know, when President Trump was elected, confidence skyrocketed, consumers, small business, large corporate and because pro-business, pro-competitive taxes, pro some regulatory reform — and that has helped the economy,” Dimon told Rebecca Jarvis of ABC.

“So it’s impossible for me to tease out how much, but it has helped the economy,” he said. “Yeah, he should take some credit for that.”

Wow, begrudging faint praise throughout. What a weasel.

Pretty good...

What a gusher of enthusiasm this ass is.

Must have killed him to have to spit that out.

I think they are trying to butter him up.

They may have caused friction with Trump before his presidency - maybe turning down loans where others issued the loans.

JPMorgan knows they need the government to help like Obama did.

But on the other hand, they also know that with Trump at the helm they won’t be “asked” to make bad loans for people. Who knows ?

All I know is that it is not natural for people to work with our President. When someone does, it always raises a flag with me.

By any chance, did this outfit get any bailout money back in 2008-09?

“I understand that the American public looks at it and it’s unfair, and it was,” he said. “They look at it like the elite Washington banks, a bunch of — kind of . . . kind of got bailed out, and they suffered. And there’s some truth to that. And they didn’t see Old Testament justice. So I understand why there is a lot of anger out there.”

So we look at it as 'unfair' because it WAS UNFAIR... and we didn't see ANY JUSTICE. Not just 'old Testament' justice, but ZERO justice.

But Jamie Dimon and his fellow liberal elites DID DO WELL. Very well. AND now the same corrupt 'elites' who ripped off the American people, filled the country with despair and suicides and opioid addictions will now work to destroy the man we duly elected to be OUR President.

Money is no object - and they own the press - so to hell with everything that made this country worth living in... Glad you can 'feel our pain' Jamie Dimon... for whatever that's worth - guess that and ten bucks will get you a cup of coffee, right?

Oops, that will cause Soros to close his accounts with them. Remember, JPMorgan wanted him to be their CEO.

I wonder if his secretary paged him: ‘Hey, Jamie - there are regulators from 9 federal agencies in the lobby lined up to meet you.’

Wasn’t quite a walk back on his previous comments. More like a stumble back.

Begrudging - yes, but the fact that it is even positive is surprising in this environment.

Destroy the middle class by lack of opportunity. Destroy the working classes with abortion and opioids; replace them with wage slaves from south of the border!

JP Morgan chase made a profit in every quarter of 2008 and 2009 - while most of the other banks were reporting tens of billions in losses.

He was the CEO who gave the order, in October of 2007, for every department in JP Morgan to get out of subprime immediately.
