TheWkly Analysis

While you were busy using the long weekend to sleep in make good on that New Year’s resolution to exercise more, you might have missed that President Trump spent the weekend exercising his typing fingers on Truth Social. The president’s post detailing plans to impose tariffs on European countries over their opposition to his desire to control Greenland got the most attention…but Trump also threatened to sue the US’s largest bank within a fortnight. Rebutting a Wall Street Journal article that said Trump had offered JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon the role of Fed chair (a proposition Dimon took as a joke, according to the newspaper), Trump posted on Saturday: “[T]here was never such an offer and, in fact, I’ll be suing JPMorgan Chase over the next two weeks for incorrectly and inappropriately DEBANKING me after the January 6th Protest.”

What this means for you:
This could affect your banking by putting “debanking” policies under a brighter political spotlight.
This could affect your investments by adding headline risk for large banks tied to public disputes.
This could affect your daily life by intensifying debate over who should have access to financial services and why.
Your Wallet
This Trump-JPM spat is political theater that won't touch your bank fees, loan rates, or ATM access—JPM is too big to sweat one tweet. Your checking account and credit card rewards stay the same. Focus on real wallet hits like groceries instead.
