In reply to the discussion: Jamie Dimon says Trump's tariff policy is positive for national security so people should 'get over it' [View all]FakeNoose
(36,401 posts)23. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Dimon was like this before Chump was ever on the scene
I wouldn't call Jamie Dimon a MAGA. He's one of the original "American oligarchs," before we even thought in such terms.
The thing about Chump's tariffs is that they're really nothing more than an excise tax that's being used to punish certain groups that are on Chump's "naughty/disloyal" list.
Do the billionaires care about paying taxes? Of course not, none of this affects them. In some cases it will help them make more money. Some American companies that were formerly profitable, will be up for grabs in a couple of years. Well who will be doing the grabbing? The one-per-centers of course. This is how late-stage capitalism works.

Hey Jamie, remember when the American taxpayers bailed your ass out? I don't believe you and your buddies thanked us.

You mis-spelled his name twice (not a typo). Do you have something going on with the jewish name "Jaime"?
