JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon considered for Trump's potential Cabinet
Trump endorses lowering corporate tax rate to 15%
Trump indicates he will let Powell finish term as Fed Chair if reelected
Former President Donald Trump has indicated that he would let Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell finish his term if he is reelected, despite previously expressing the belief that he had the legal authority to demote him. In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Trump also endorsed lowering the corporate tax rate to 15 percent and considered appointing JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon as Treasury secretary. During his presidency, Trump faced currency problems and fought for a stronger US dollar against Japan and China, which he believed created a significant burden for American companies exporting goods due to the difference in currency values between the US dollar and Japanese yen/Chinese yuan being the biggest in 38 years.
Trump was interviewed by Bloomberg Businessweek at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, on June 25, two days before the first presidential debate and about two weeks before a failed assassination attempt. In the interview, he discussed various topics including the economy, Federal Reserve, inflation, tax cuts, tariffs and relationships with chief executives.
Trump warned US Fed chair not to cut interest rates before the election. Jamie Dimon is being considered for a position in Trump's potential Cabinet and Trump expressed his respect for him. Dimon praised some of Trump's policies in January, including his handling of NATO, immigration, and tax reform.

Deception
(50%)
The article reports on Trump's potential consideration of Jamie Dimon for a Cabinet position if he wins the November election. The author mentions Trump's previous criticisms of Dimon and his support for Nikki Haley, but does not provide any context as to why Trump may have changed his mind or what Dimon's stance on Trump is now. This selective reporting could be an attempt to manipulate the reader's emotions by presenting only information that supports the author's position (Trump considering Dimon for a Cabinet position) while omitting important context that could challenge it (Dimon's current stance on Trump).
The remarks are surprising, considering how scathing Trump was when Dimon supported Haley's presidential campaign.
But it looks like Trump may be feeling differently about Dimon now.

The author expresses a clear bias towards Trump in this article by praising him for considering Jamie Dimon for a cabinet position and quoting his positive comments about Trump. The author also mentions how Dimon's call to support Nikki Haley during her presidential campaign led to Trump's criticism of him as a 'highly overrated globalist'. However, the author does not provide any examples of bias towards Dimon or Haley.
