Even though J.P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon said he disagreed with President Donald Trump's decision to leave the Paris Agreement earlier this year, he maintained that he still had a responsibility " to engage our elected officials ...and advocate for policies that improve people's lives."
Now, amid outrage over Trump's Charlottesville response , Dimon has condemned the president.

Here is his note to employees in its entirety:
I strongly disagree with President Trump's reaction to the events that took place in Charlottesville over the past several days. Racism, intolerance and violence are always wrong. The equal treatment of all people is one of our nation’s bedrock principles. There is no room for equivocation here: the evil on display by these perpetrators of hate should be condemned and has no place in a country that draws strength from our diversity and humanity.
As a company and for all business in general, it is critical that we help develop rational, intelligent policies to help expand opportunities for all of our citizens.

Excellent. Trump is so toxic, that his actions have the potential to make Americans say nice things about big banks.
LOL, that's one way of looking at it...Gotta remember that line.
Agreed-- excellent line!
(I will have to check in with my leftist friends to see what they have to say about this! ...On second thought, I also wonder what my friends on the right will think!!!)
The business community is turning against Trump... now even CEOs of the bniggest corp[orations!
