JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon weighed in Wednesday on the $5 billion lawsuit filed against his bank by former President Donald Trump, insisting the case is baseless but admitting that “debanking Trump is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“Listen, there are plenty of reasons to close someone’s account—insufficient funds, suspicious activity, or, in some cases, because the customer is Donald Trump,” Dimon told CNBC, sipping coffee out of a mug shaped like a golden toilet. “Would I be salty? Sure. But sometimes you have to do what’s right for the brand. Besides, Wells Fargo is perfectly equipped for this sort of clientele.”
Trump’s legal team alleges that Chase’s actions were politically motivated, claiming in their filing, “If they did this to a billionaire ex-president, who’s next? Eric?” Meanwhile, customers across the U.S. have begun double-checking their balances for evidence of excessive orange residue.
Financial analyst Marjorie Krumpf noted, “Debanking a former reality show host is a bold move, but honestly, it was only a matter of time until cashiers had to explain how the overdraft protection doesn’t cover hush money.”
A Chase spokesperson confirmed that Trump was mailed a consolation checkbook featuring the Monopoly Guy on every page, “as a gesture of goodwill and because we found a whole box in the storage room.”
As for Trump, he has threatened to move his business to Bank of America, which responded, “We look forward to serving all customers, regardless of their ongoing legal drama, provided they bring their own pens.”
