Dimon, Jamie
1956–

Dimon's annual shareholder letters from 2019-2026 have become a de facto state-of-the-establishment-Republican-business-world address — his documented positions include pro-immigration reform, pro-infrastructure investment, pro-Ukraine, pro-NATO, anti-populist-extremism (on both sides), fiscal-hawk-but-pragmatic, and deeply concerned about American institutional decline. Dimon spent the Trump years explicitly warning the GOP against the populist nationalism Paxton embodies; the tariff position, the institutional corruption, the Ukraine skepticism, the attacks on financial regulators, and the personal-conduct scandals are all Dimon's stated worry list. Talarico's institutionalism, immigration reform framework, alliance restoration posture, anti-corruption package, and infrastructure investment would land well with Dimon. Dimon would push back on the corporate tax increases, stock buyback tax, billionaire-taxation framing, and the $15 federal minimum wage as economically counterproductive. The 2 for Paxton reflects how thoroughly the establishment-Republican business voice has rejected the Trump-era populist GOP — Dimon is the closest living equivalent to the National Review founding ethos, and like NR he rates Paxton near the bottom.
