Wall Street leaders on Wednesday voiced support for President-elect Trump — but they weren’t exactly bubbling over with enthusiasm.
“I’m optimistic about America’s future and the role our company will continue to play as we help the nation address our challenges and move forward together,” Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase’s chief executive, said in a statement to employees.
Deutsche Bank, which has lent money to Trump’s real estate company, offered a more positive take.
“Our hopes are based on Trump’s pragmatism, his ability to adapt and his generally limited political allegiance,” Stefan Kreuzkamp, chief investment officer at Deutsche’s asset management arm, said in a statement.
Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, who supported Hillary Clinton, made no public statements.
Neither did Citigroup CEO Michael Corbat.
