... Key Facts

Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday he didn't "know who said it, or where it came from" that Fink or Dimon were under consideration, speculating that "perhaps the Radical Left" made the suggestions.

Trump himself fueled the rumors about Dimon, however, telling Bloomberg in an interview last month he was "somebody that [he] would consider" for Treasury secretary. ...

Wow, fmr Pres Trump's memory seems to be failing him if he cannot even remember what happened last month.

next thing I guess we'll hear is fmr Pres Trump denying any knowledge of Project 2025.

Oh wait ...

At first the ex-Dotard-in-Chief considered Bernie Madoff for Treasury Secretary, until someone reminded him that goniff croaked in prison three years ago.

Our Story

The Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians (Gun Lake Tribe) is part of the historic Three Fires Confederacy, an alliance of the Pottawatomi (Bodewadmi), Ottawa (Odawa) and Chippewa (Ojibwe). Tribal Nations in the Great Lakes region are also known as the Neshnibek, or original people.

Under the command of Chief Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish, the Three Fires Confederacy signed the Treaty of Greenville in 1795 with the United States government. At the turn of the 19th century, the Chief's Band inhabited the Kalamazoo River valley, with the primary village located at the head of the river's head.

In 1821, Chief Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish signed the Treaty of Chicago, the first land cession to the U.S. government that directly affected his Band. Under the treaty's terms, the Tribe retained a three-square-mile reservation located at present-day downtown Kalamazoo.

The U.S. and Pottawatomi Tribes signed the Treaty of St. Joseph in 1827, ceding the tribes' rights to the Kalamazoo reserve. Neither payment nor land was ever provided to the Chief's Band, leading to a period of constant northern movement in an effort to avoid removal to the west. The Band briefly settled in Cooper, Plainwell and Martin before permanently settling in Bradley, near Gun Lake, circa 1838. ...



Whoa, cool stuff.

Well if he denies it, you can surely bet that is who his next Treasury Secy will be.

He's a compulsive liar.

Anything you want to add to the topic of Trump's memory issues?

Or did you want to avoid the topic altogether?

Trump wants to be the Treasury Secretary too, but
he will call himself the Treasury Czar, and proceed
to shove the nation's coffers into his own bank accounts.

Remember how much of a grifter, liar, fraud, conman, and thief he is America...

I always had some respect for Dimon, but his kissing-up to trump makes him just another MAGAt chump. Sad.

This will not happen. Dimon is widely regarded as the best banker in the US and among the best in the world. He has nothing to gain from working for an idiot whose many 3am directives from the porcelain throne would run counter to good fiscal policy and practice and would place Dimon in a position counter to his interests as a big holder of JPM stock. Further, the JPM board and shareholders would be seriously bent if he left in this manner. Last, unlike "Lips" Mnuchin Dimon is not some guy looking for a grift at the expense of everyday Americans ...
