JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon raised the prospect of White House run last week but seemed to rule that out Sunday. (ERIC PIERMONT/AFP/Getty Images)JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon backed away Sunday from the sharp criticism he leveled at President Trump earlier in the week and said he was not planning to run for president himself. Appearing on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Dimon was asked “what kind of grade” he would give Trump just on the economy. “You know, when President Trump was elected, confidence skyrocketed, consumers, small business, large corporate and because pro-business, pro-competitive taxes, pro some regulatory reform — and that has helped the economy,” Dimon told Rebecca Jarvis of ABC. “So it’s impossible for me to tease out how much, but it has helped the economy,” he said.
