Bloomberg: Well, while we’re on the topic of CEOs, [JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO] Jamie Dimon’s name has come up as a potential Treasury secretary in a second Trump administration, is he someone who you’re eyeing for the job?

Trump: Let me just say one thing first, so I had a meeting with them. First, I had a meeting with Congress, Republican Congress. It was like a lovefest, then I met with them and then I met with the US Senate, all Republicans, 49. And it was also a lovefest, but my best meeting of the three was with the executives. And Biden’s misinformation people put out a thing: Oh, he went on, he rambled. There was no rambling. This, you could say, this is rambling, but in order to get to the point, you have to, you know, this is a very complex subject, that a lot of people, most people don’t understand. But I just wanted to say, that that was the best meeting. They loved it. They were happy with. I mean, as an example, I brought the taxes down from 39% to 21%1. What’s not to love? I then said, I’d like to round it off to 20 for simplicity reasons, I mean, it is, you know, believe it or not, it sort of makes sense and it’s still a lot of money.

But I would like to get it down to 15, if we could, because that would put us in the absolute lowest in terms of incentive. But that meeting and we had, I don’t know, 70—all CEOs, the top guys, that was a lovefest, and I will tell you when I’m not loved because I feel that better than anybody. But that was a lovefest. And it was reported by some people, so wrong. Actually, CNBC called and apologized to me, because they found out. But we had a great meeting, Jamie Dimon was there. I have a lot of respect for Jamie Dimon.

Bloomberg: A future Trump Treasury secretary?

Trump: He is somebody that I would consider, sure. He was at the meeting. Tim Cook was right next to him. You know, we had everybody.
