"Even if you're a very liberal Democrat, I urge you, help Nikki Haley, too," Dimon told attendees at The New York Times' DealBook Summit in November. "Get a choice on the Republican side that might be better than Trump."
Dimon's call for Haley donations quickly drew Trump's ire. The former president called Dimon a " highly overrated globalist " in a November Truth Social post.
"I've never been a big Jamie Dimon fan, but had to live with this guy when he came begging to the White House. I guess I don't have to live with him anymore, and that's a really good thing!" Trump wrote in November.
But it looks like Trump may be feeling differently about Dimon now.
For one, Haley is no longer a threat to Trump's presidential ambitions. The former South Carolina governor ended her presidential campaign in March and endorsed Trump at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday.
"He's kind of right about NATO. Kind of right about immigration," Dimon told CNBC at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos. "He grew the economy quite well. Tax reform worked. He was right about some of China."
To be sure, Dimon hasn't indicated that he plans to leave JPMorgan anytime soon. During the bank's investor day in May, Dimon said he intends to stay on for another three-and-a-half years, per Reuters .
"Obviously, it's crossed my mind because people mention things to you and stuff like that. I love my country, and maybe one day I'll serve my country in one capacity or another," Dimon told Bloomberg TV in May.
Representatives for Trump and Dimon didn't immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider sent outside regular business hours.
