"I think I could beat Trump ... because I'm as tough as he is, I'm smarter than he is" said Jamie Dimon.

"And by the way, this wealthy New Yorker actually earned his money," Dimon added. "It wasn't a gift from Daddy."

J.P. Morgan Chase Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon made some interesting comments on today's political affairs, even though he's said publicly he won't run for president and is committed to head the bank for the next five years.

"I think I could beat Trump... because I'm as tough as he is, I'm smarter than he is," said Dimon. "I can't beat the liberal side of the Democratic party."

Dimon, 62, has been outspoken about what the U.S. needs to do to improve economic growth for a broader set of participants. He's also pushed for common-sense actions on topics from immigration policy to infrastructure spending. So he's often been asked whether he would run for president. In the past, he has said that while he would like running the country, he could never win an election. But the victory of Donald Trump in 2016 -- another billionaire New York businessman -- raised the possibility that Dimon might change his mind.

Still, while the questions remain, Dimon maintains that he probably couldn't win. In Wednesday's comments, he indicated that its unlikely a rich banker could beat the liberal side of the Democratic party.

1. Jamie and I define "earned" very differently

Why isn't that man in prison?

6. Fucking-A right!

That son of a bitch should be penniless and pan-handling for charity ... not contemplating a presidential bid.

I loathe people who essentially grifted and stole their fortunes off of the labor and backs of others, who then feel the right to bless the rest of unwashed masses with their "this is what we need to do next" BS...Jamie, go into hiding and stay there you putz.

2. I look forward to Trump getting primaried. He'll win but he'll be weakened.

3. Another wealthy businessman?

Fuck that.

4. All these cretins are truly puke-worthy.

Yes, what we realllllly need is some effing bankster running the country.

5. Dimon is a Democrat?

I guess it makes sense since Democrats are good for jobs, the economy, and consumer confidence.

7. I hope we are over with business men who think they know how to run Government
