SiriusXM Progress host Michelangelo Signorile is questioning Donald Trump’s “cognitive decline” after he appears to have forgotten a potential nominee for Treasury Secretary.
Trump spoke with Bloomberg earlier this month and agreed that JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon could be a potential candidate for the position.
The reporter at Bloomberg asked the question twice whether Dimon would be a candidate for Treasury Secretary, and Trump said that “he is somebody that I would consider, sure.”
“He [Dimon] was at the [GOP] meeting.”
In a post on Truth Social this week, Trump denied he commented.
"I don’t know who said it, or where it came from, perhaps the Radical Left, but I never discussed, or thought of, Jamie Dimon or Larry Fink for Secretary of the Treasury,” Trump said. Fink is the CEO of the BlackRock investment firm.
Having interacted with a number of Trump supporters over the years, they legitimately talk nonsense like this daily. This is nothing new. If anything, it makes them like him more because he’s like them, and they want to be him.
What’s actually rare is when he insults someone and they are surprised or don’t like that he said that. But no, most supporters latch onto the phrase and repeat it themselves
