Trump: Jamie Dimon doesn't have the smarts to be President

The problem with banker Jamie Dimon running for President is that he doesn't have the aptitude or 'smarts' & is a poor public speaker & nervous mess - otherwise he is wonderful," Trump tweeted Thursday morning. "I've made a lot of bankers, and others, look much smarter than they are with my great economic policy!"

Trump was responding to comments Dimon made at an event at the bank's headquarters in New York where he said that he could beat Trump if he ran for president. Dimon later expressed remorse for the comments.

"I think I could beat Trump," Dimon, a Democrat, said Wednesday, according to a transcript posted by CNBC. "I can't beat the liberal side of the Democratic Party."

"I'm as tough as he is, I'm smarter than he is. I would be fine. He could punch me all he wants, it wouldn't work with me. I'd fight right back." Dimon added.

Maybe, just maybe this could qualify as one of the: "Top 10 Dumbest Statements Ever Made by Trump."

Hard to know, there have been just so many...

1. Well trump proved you don't need smarts to become president.

[dem4decades]

2. you need just enough rubes.

[minoan]

3. or rubles

rubes or rubles either one

[lark]

11. No, you just need Russi and a cabal of ultra rich bigots to steal an unearned election.

That's how he did it. He's easily the most stupid, most venal, most criminal and most traitorous person to ever inhabit the WH. I don't want Dimon at all, want a Dem, but my geriatric orange cat who's so neurotic & allergic he pulls out a good portion of his fur would do a better job than drumpf, and look better too

[LakeSuperiorView]

13. Growing up I was told that anyone could become President

I'd didn't think that they literally meant any fucking one - 45 proved me wrong.

4. From the Apricot Hellbeasts' tweet

Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) Tweeted:

I admit, I like watching very rich & sorta rich people fighting.

[smirkymonkey]

18. Wow. Just wow.

He really has no idea how other people see him, does he?

[vi5]

5. Oh god, please don't let this place....

..turn into a Jamie Dimon fanclub now the way it did for Bezos after Trump attacked him.

The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend.

[Stuart G]

6. I am no fan of Jamie Dimon. He is a selfish jerk. But..

Trump, saying Dimon is a "stupid" person is like Cruz saying Beto O Rourke is not "well liked."

There is a certain irony to the quote..

[Paladin]

7. I don't particularly like Dimon, either.

But Dimon's shoe soles have more "smarts" than trump will ever have.

[Thekaspervote]

24. Ha!! Hit that one on the head

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. Rump is the most unsuccessful business person who ever lived and this is easily provable

Turns out WH advisors are not the only ones who ignore him, the only reason he has had ANY success in business is those times when his staff ignored him.

But what makes him the worst of all time is any success he did have, thanks to others, he ruined it. He would fuck it up almost immediately.

[irisblue]

19. Dimon was a local boy for awhile. If he could have charged for air in his banks lobbies,

He would have. I got no use for the guy. I do like watching rich white men slap each other. 🔪🔪

[vi5]

21. So do I....

...but this place tends to jump on the bandwagon of anyone who Trump hates and treats them like they are somehow not evil just because of that.

[Farmer-Rick]

29. I would like to see them fight

Leave us out of it. Let the fat white rich boys duke it out....like in fight club. Maybe even throw Putin onto Taitor Trump's back to get a few slaps in on Dimon. Traitor Trump is so big and fat he would never notice that Putin was on top.

[Solly Mack]

8. lololololol

[joshdawg]

9. Dimon is a Democrat?!??

Seriously?? WTF?

[IronLionZion]

10. We can take his money, but don't need candidates like him

he'd be very unlikely to make it through the primaries

Trump was a Democrat not too long ago.

[Lucky Luciano]

12. A lot of wall st people are dems. The republicans are cray cray!

I think it is also the reason that the left side of the Democratic Party got behind Bernie - too many Wall st types in the Democratic Party making policy.

I welcome them to the Democratic Party as they are often socially liberal, but they need to not get in the way of things like single payer etc.

[JCanete]

22. hahahaha...I was just about to post the same thing. Sounds absurd. nt

[unblock]

26. yes, and he's actually pretty good on policy from a democratic perspective.

that saying, i don't like him as a businessman and there are many, many democrats i would rather see as president.

but yeah, he's actually a good democrat and a solid donor.

[ck4829]

14. LOL

[SWBTATTReg]

15. Anyone has more smarts than rump, no question about it. rump is lying through his ...

teeth when he says this. He's just scared because any competent opponent would easily beat rump. He's already running scared because the next election cycle around, he's going to be claiming total success and yet, the American taxpayer will look at their wallet, and see how much money they actually have vs. before rump, and notice that there doesn't seem to be more money in them.

[miffelplix]

16. There is an easy way to identify those people who are completely unqualified to be president

They are the people bragging about what a wonderful president they would be.

[apnu]

17. And Trump "hurricanes are wet" does have the smarts? (nt)

[duforsure]

20. Coming from the 4th or 5th grader

Again shows how childish and incompetent he truly is.

[truthisfreedom]

23. Always with the projection

Same old crap.

[BeckyDem]

25. Jamie Dimon belongs in jail along with Trump.

[MyOwnPeace]

27. Well, at least IQ45 knows who said it.

Imagine how smart he'd claim to be if it was some animous, er, annimoose, er, announemouse, er, well, you know, someone he didn't know!
Yeah, THAT smart!

30. EVERY INSULT the moron gives is what he deserves.
