I thought this was unusual enough to where I asked Perplexity for the source quote:

“I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots. I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy rolled out failed.”

was originally reported as remarks made by Dimon during a foreign ministry event in Dublin, Ireland, in July 2025. Multiple reputable outlets covered these comments, but the first and primary reporting source is Bloomberg. Other major financial and news publications, such as Fortune, Yahoo Finance, and Moneycontrol, explicitly cite Bloomberg as the origin of the direct quote"

..and while it forget to list Bberg among the references, here's a link to 11 July Fortune: https://fortune.com/2025/07/11/jamie-dimon-democra...

So
- yes, he said it, and
- I agree with Jim/mungo that it is a necessary filter to other remarks by Mr Dimon going forward. I hadn't really thought of him as stale-dated until now (Jamie, not Jim)
