Trump Reveals He Will NOT Pick JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon Or BlackRock CEO Larry Fink As Secretary Of Treasury


President Trump has ended rumors that he will appoint JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon or BlackRock CEO Larry Fink as Secretary of the Treasury.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, “I don’t know who said it, or where it came from, but I never discussed, or thought of, Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Secretary of the Treasury.”

The original report that claimed that Trump would tag either Dimon or Fink stemmed from a report from Bloomberg and the New York Post.

Take a look at Trump’s post here:

Here’s what Coin Telegraph reported:

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has quashed reports suggesting he may consider appointing JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon or BlackRock CEO Larry Fink as Secretary of the Treasury if reelected.

In a July 23 post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said neither Dimon nor Fink were part of his plans for a potential cabinet if he were victorious in November. He seemed to contradict an exclusive report released on July 16 by Bloomberg Businessweek, whose team sat down with Trump in June.

“I don’t know who said it, or where it came from […] but I never discussed, or thought of, Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Secretary of the Treasury,” said Trump.

Bloomberg reported that Trump had said he would consider Dimon as secretary of the Department of the Treasury. On July 20, the New York Post — a publication that Trump reportedly prefers before other news outlets — reported that the Republican nominee was considering Fink for the same position.

Per Watcher Guru:

In a recent post to his Truth Social platform, Donald Trump has denied considering JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon or BlackRock’s Larry Fink for US Treasury Secretary amid his bid for reelection. Trump had been linked to both men during his campaign, but he set the record straight on the rumors Tuesday.

According to Trump, he “never discussed, or thought of, Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Secretary of the Treasury.” Moreover, he noted that he didn’t know where the rumor first started, or who first mentioned the potential appointment.

RFK Jr. also made the claim, which has now been confirmed as false:
