Galaxy brain moves afoot
“In recent days, some company leaders and Democratic political operatives have called the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, according to someone with knowledge of the calls, to gauge his interest in replacing Mr. Biden”
But also that Jamie Dimon would be willing to risk losing to Donald Trump and having all his assets seized by the feds and being sent to Federal prison as a result.
In Dimon's case, having been in charge of one of the largest banks in the world for decades, you can pretty much guarantee he's at least implicated in multiple federal crimes, so it wouldn't even require a lot of pretenses.
No chance in hell does he want to gamble like that.
He already has more power than pretty much any civilian not named Musk, and he gets to keep it no matter who wins.
The best case scenario if he even gets the nomination (lol) is that he loses and Trump uses JP Morgan Chase as a personal piggybank. Worst case is dying in Gitmo.
Exactly.
I'm not one to overrate Dimon's insight, but he spent the 4 years Trump was in office being careful not to get on his bad-side. He's not going to do anything different now for the sake of a smaller office with a worse view and more work.
And almost every word of that story is from unnamed sources. I'm getting awfully tired of the supposed newspaper of record bolstering stories written to stir the pot for clicks with anonymous sources.
the NYT concerned op eds as the national guard stand over 150 dead students on the Mall with gunsmoke in the air will be what brings the nation together
