JPMorgan Chase on Friday flatly denied that its CEO, Jamie Dimon, has endorsed Donald Trump for president, minutes after the Republican nominee claimed on social media that Dimon is now backing him.

“Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone. He has not endorsed a candidate,” Dimon spokesman Joe Evangelisti told CNBC in a phone call.

Trump on Truth Social had posted a screenshot falsely claiming, “New: Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has endorsed Trump for President.”

When NBC News asked Trump about the post later Friday, Trump said he didn’t know about it and that it wasn’t posted by him.

The post, published at 1:56 p.m. ET, was still visible on Trump’s official account more than an hour later.

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to CNBC’s requests for comment.

Dimon has at times offered qualified praise for Trump, and he has opted not to endorse the Democratic presidential ticket — either when President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris were leading it.

“I’m not endorsing anyone at this time,” Dimon told CNBCTV-18 in September at the JPMorgan Investor Summit in Mumbai.

But Dimon and Trump have also clashed repeatedly over the years.

During the Republican presidential primary season, Dimon had urged corporate leaders to support former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley over Trump.

Trump tore into Dimon for siding with Haley, saying he “had to live with this guy when he came begging to the White House.”

Two-thirds of Americans drink coffee every single day, according to data collected by the National Coffee Association in 2022, and the debate about how much is too much and whether or not any amount of caffeine is safe persists. But recent research shows that the answer is more complicated than you’d think. A Harvard study, that followed […]

I went to a Costco in Japan—the variety of foods was ‘incredible’: Here’s the stuff you don’t really see in the U.S. stores

As a Japanese nutritionist living in the U.S., I love shopping for traditional foods that I grew up eating, such as seaweed, beans, matcha, multigrain rice, and sweet potatoes. I sometimes go to Costco to buy those staples in bulk. But during a recent trip to Japan, I had the chance to shop at the […]
