Former President Trump said he knew “nothing” about a Friday Truth social post on his account falsely claiming to be endorsed by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.
President Trump: “I don't know anything about that'' said NBC reporter Jake Traylor while campaigning in Evans, Georgia.
When the trailer asks about it, post From the former president's Truth Social account, he said, “Someone posted it – no, I don't know.”
Dimon denied supporting the former president shortly after the post was posted on Friday. The business leader has been outspoken about not endorsing candidates in this year's elections, writing in a Washington Post column in August that he hopes the next commander-in-chief will work to “unite” the country. He emphasized that he was doing so.
“Our best leaders strengthen the ties that bind us together. They work for the broad interests of our country and do not pander to politics or to extreme views.” Dimon wrote.
He also suggested that more U.S. leaders should strive to include business leaders in their Cabinets.
Earlier in the summer, President Trump shot down rumors that he would pick Dimon to join his Cabinet, accusing the “radical left” of spreading the story.
“I don't know who said it, I don't know where it came from, but it's probably the radical left, but we've never discussed or thought about having Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink as Treasury Secretary,” Trump said. he said.
Dimon previously supported Nikki Haley in her bid for the White House, after President Trump criticized her in November, calling her a “very overrated globalist.”
