Trump: Never offered the position of Federal Reserve Chairman to JPMorgan CEO Dimon.

President Trump stated on his social media platform "Truth Social" that the Wall Street Journal published an article on its front page alleging that I had offered the position of Federal Reserve Chairman to Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase without any verification. This claim is entirely fabricated, as I have never made such an offer. In the next two weeks, Trump will sue JPMorgan Chase for cutting ties with him following the January 6th protest. Additionally, there are rumors that I have considered nominating Jamie Dimon as Secretary of the Treasury. However, Bessant's work performance is currently outstanding, making her a superstar - why would I give this position to Jamie?
