President Donald Trump says JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon doesn't have the "smarts" to run for 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. 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. "I think I could beat Trump," Dimon, a Democrat, said Wednesday, according to a transcript posted by CNBC. He served White House's Strategic and Policy Forum under President Trump until it was disbanded last year.
