Donald Trump bragged Friday about winning the support of a powerful Wall Street leader — just minutes before the supposed backer debunked his claim.
Trump went on his Truth Social platform, claiming JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has endorsed him for president.
“New: Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has endorsed Trump for President." the post claimed, alongside a red flashing light emoji.
Just 20 minutes later, his claim was smashed.
“Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone. He has not endorsed a candidate,” Joe Evangelisti, a spokesman for the CEO told CNBC.
Trump's campaign did not respond to calls from CNBC.
Dimon has had a complicated relationship with Trump. He has praised some of Trump's policies, like tax cuts, but has also criticized the former president's divisive rhetoric and actions. Trump has considered Dimon for high-level positions in his administration, though Dimon has consistently said he is not interested in a government role.
