Jamie later said he was bad at politics and in no way would run. I voted for Ross Perot knowing it was a vote wasted but I wanted to make a statement that I thought what the US needed was businessmen running our country vs politicians running/selling our country. Trump has proven that a businessman can stiffen the backbone of government employees in their negotiations. To hear Jamie Dimon talk about being a presidential candidate is encouraging. As Trump proves the US needs business people to run the US effectively, it encourages other dynamic business leaders to consider to make their mark in the power/success of the US by running/becoming president. If we had a string of business people becoming the president, it may well draw the young brightest and best young grads to become government interns for the learning experience. I view the candidate debates of the future, as being far more dynamic if we had multiple ex CEO's debating the US public policy vs politicos ganging up on the one candidate that is a business exec. To see dynamic business leaders even considering a presidential candidacy is more than dynamic. I'm praying it is the shapes of things to come. By the way Jamie runs the best, most well capitalized bank in the USA. He was the only bank that ran a "Fortress Balance sheet" during the 2008 credit crisis. That kind of thinking would be more than welcome in managing the US budget. IMO Here's to his running in the 2024 presidential race and don't tell me that was not a trial balloon! Bob
