Donald Trump—or someone with access to his Truth Social account—has once again shared a misleading endorsement from a prominent figure.
Earlier this year, Trump falsely claimed that global megastar Taylor Swift had endorsed him. Now, on Friday, his account posted a message stating that Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has endorsed him as well.
This claim is also incorrect.
A screenshot on Trump’s Truth Social page stated, “New: Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has endorsed Trump for President.” However, minutes after the post went live, JPMorgan Chase denied the assertion. A spokesperson for Dimon clarified to CNBC, “Jamie Dimon has not endorsed anyone. He has not endorsed a candidate.”
The false claim reportedly originated from a verified account on X, which shared the post widely before it appeared on Trump’s page.
There is some uncertainty about who posted the message, as Trump stated he was unaware of the fake endorsement. “Somebody put it up, he told NBC News. i don’t know.
Despite being informed that the post was inaccurate and acknowledging its existence, Trump had not removed it by 8:30 PM EST on Friday. The post had remained on his page for six hours at that point.
Previously, Trump had suggested that Dimon could be his choice for Treasury Secretary in a potential second administration. However, Dimon made it clear in a September interview with CNBCTV that he does not plan to endorse either Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris. “I’m not endorsing anyone at this time,” he stated.
During the Republican primary, Dimon supported former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley over Trump, which the former president did not take lightly. He criticized Dimon, saying he “had to live with this guy when he came begging to the White House.”
Earlier this summer, Trump’s Truth Social account shared AI-generated images of women wearing Swifties for Trump t-shirts, suggesting Swift had endorsed him. At that time, Trump responded with, I accept!
Weeks later, after Swift endorsed Harris, Trump changed his tone on Truth Social, declaring, I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!
