This is the face you hope “they” don’t forget when the raging begins. Then again, maybe I am being a little “worried.” That’s what the billionaire Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase, said at Davos last week on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”

“I wish the Democrats would think a little more carefully when they talk about MAGA,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” as he praised the many things he said Trump got “kind of right.”

“He was kind of right about NATO, kind of right on immigration,” Dimon argued (though he didn’t say whether Trump’s claim that immigrants “are poisoning the blood of our country” is “kind of right”). “He grew the economy quite well. Trade. Tax reform worked. He was right about some of China.”

“I don’t like how Trump said things about Mexico,” Dimon continued, “but he wasn’t wrong about some of these critical issues. That’s why they’re voting for him. People should be more respectful of our fellow citizens (Billionaires Think You Are Overreacting).”
