I like this concept, and I like the use of the word “beclowning.”

To say nothing of the gigantic, subsurface volcano of anger over the fact that the Dimons of the world got away scot-free in 2008-2009 while millions of Americans lost their homes, their livelihoods, and their hopes.

I’ve read in other sources (Bill Cohen @ Puck specifically) that Dimon is actually looking at Treasury Secretary, not POTUS, as his “way to serve”. Cohen thinks he’d do an excellent job there because of his success at JPMC.

You forgot Tom Steyer, although his being a businessman was not why he ran! I am not sure Howard Schultz was ever a formal declared candidate. "If Dimon does not recall any of this then his mental competency will be an issue during the campaign" LOL We see from the debt ceiling clown show that even a Joe Biden who has lost a step has been in so many of these fights that he can come out without actively losing.
