JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon donated to Democrats before, so what he said about Donald Trump the former president might have shocked many people.
He said it multiple times, including on CNBC, Fox and other networks. It was clear that he wanted to make his point known.
What was Dimon trying to say? It’s wrong that Democrats (like Joe Biden), attack MAGA supporters because, as Dimon pointed out, they vote for Trump because of his rightness on many policy issues. This is both a criticism of Democratic strategies and a basic truth.
This is a very bad thing for Biden.

Dimon expressed his concern about the future of 2024. “If I were in government, I’d be planning what I would do if things didn’t go well.” Biden, however, is busy telling us that everything is great when everyone knows (including Dimon), it isn’t.
Dimon stated, “I would like the Democrats to be a bit more careful when they speak about MAGA.” Dimon said that the Democrats were blaming MAGA supporters. Biden gave a speech in which he attacked MAGA earlier this month as a threat to democracy.
Dimon claimed that he did not believe they voted for Trump due to his family values.
Step back. Be honest. He was right in a way about NATO and immigration. He did a good job of growing the economy. Tax reform worked. He wasn’t wrong in some critical areas. That’s why people vote for him. I believe people should show a bit more respect to their fellow citizens.
CNBC’s host stated, “It is hard to hate 75,000,000 people.”
Dimon agreed and criticized the Democrats’ efforts, criticizing their comments about “Deplorables”, “Bibles, and Guns” etc.
“Really? “Can we stop this stuff, grow up and respect other people and listen to them?” He said that he thought the negative talk about MAGA would hurt Biden’s election.
Elon Musk noted that Dimon had “said it very well.”

Dimon said the same thing to Fox’s Maria Bartiromo earlier this month, saying he was right on all critical issues.
He grew the economy. He was right, NATO spends more money. He was right…about China. He was right… that some regulations don’t cause positive output. “So, they are voting for him and I believe the Democrats should think twice before they use the term MAGA.”
This is the simple truth. It’s shocking, not only because it is a Democrat but also because he was not shouted down on CNBC. This may be because the people who work there know that it is true.
It’s also true that many people in the middle will be thinking the same thing if he is. This may cause some people to turn towards Trump and the Republicans due to the extremes of Biden and those on the left. You can’t run a successful campaign if you only have failures or demonizing to offer.
