Jamie Dimon, the billionaire chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase, says he could beat President Trump in an election campaign – but not liberal Democrats.

“I’m as tough as he is, I’m smarter than he is,” Dimon said Wednesday in remarks reported by CNBC at an event to discuss the largest U.S. lender’s $500 million initiative to finance critical urban projects. “I can’t beat the liberal side of the Democratic Party.”
