JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has clarified that he has not endorsed former President Donald Trump, following a false claim made by Trump on social media.
The statement was made after Trump made a misleading post on Truth Social, inaccurately suggesting that Dimon had endorsed him for the 2024 presidential election.
“Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone. He has not endorsed a candidate,” Joe Evangelisti, a spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase, told CBS News in a statement.
Trump’s post included a screenshot claiming Dimon, one of the most influential figures in the banking industry, had thrown his support behind the former president. However, when asked by NBC News, Trump said he was unaware of the post, which remained visible on his Truth Social account as of Friday evening.
The Trump campaign did not provide a response to NBC News’ request for comment. The post is believed to have been shared from a verified account on X (formerly Twitter) earlier in the day and quickly gained support from users who are pro-Trump.
Dimon, who had previously shown support for former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley during the Republican primaries, has not made any public statements in favor of Trump.
This is not the first time Trump has allegedly made false claims about high-profile endorsements. In August, he circulated AI-generated images suggesting that pop star Taylor Swift was endorsing him, only for Swift to publicly endorse his political opponent, Kamala Harris, weeks later.
