Trump Falsely Claims Endorsement From JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon

Former President Donald Trump  claimed Friday on Truth Social that hed received the endorsement of JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon , who appeared to have no knowledge of the development and immediately disavowed it.

New: Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has endorsed Trump for President, a post on Trumps Truth Social account  read.

As of Friday afternoon, the lie had garnered 6,910 likes and 2,270 ReTruths.

A spokesperson for Dimon unequivocally denied the claim.

Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone, Joe Evangelisti told CNBC . He has not endorsed a candidate.

The Trump campaign didnt immediately respond to HuffPosts request for comment.

When an NBC reporter asked Trump about the post, the Republican presidential nominee said he knew nothing about it.

As of this storys publication, the false endorsement was still on Trumps Truth Social account more than three hours after it was first published, even after Trump had made several more posts.

Dimon has been critical of Trump in the past, suggesting in 2018 that the then-president wasnt all that smart.

I think I could beat Trump... because Im as tough as he is, Im smarter than he is, Dimon reportedly said at an event in New York. And by the way, this wealthy New Yorker actually earned his money. It wasnt a gift from daddy. (Dimon later walked back the remarks.)
