To be honest, I am not sure what is motivating all this “Jamie Dimon for President” chatter outside of an unsolicited tweet from Bill Ackman and some recent playfully enigmatic commentary from Dimon, himself, about his interest in spending his third act in politics. It seems highly unlikely, to say the least, that Jamie would actually want to run for president: eating corn dogs, running around the country playing the retail game, and giving up his perch as the country’s most important banker. Ackman was certainly right that “we need an exemplary business, financial, and global leader to manage through what is likely to be a critically important decade for our country in determining our destiny.” But let’s take a step back from the edge of hysteria here and be realistic for a moment.
