Dimon's plea, penned in a Washington Post column, comes at a time when the nation is grappling with a myriad of challenges, from economic instability to social upheaval.
According to The Hill, Dimon drew parallels between the current state of affairs and past crises that the country has weathered, such as war and economic turmoil. He invoked the leadership styles of former Presidents Lincoln, Truman, and Eisenhower, who, he said, "guided us forward with common sense and pragmatism." He emphasized that the nation's best leaders have always been those who "strengthen the bonds that unite us" and prioritize the country's broader interests over partisan politics.
Dimon also advocated for the inclusion of more business leaders in government, arguing that their expertise could contribute to a more robust national policy agenda. This suggestion comes after former President Trump considered, but ultimately dismissed, the idea of appointing Dimon as his Treasury Secretary.

In his column, Dimon proposed a series of solutions to the nation's problems, which he believes future U.S. presidents should consider. He stressed the importance of leaders acknowledging the nation's issues and uniting Americans through "regular, honest, and open communication." He cited former President Eisenhower's practice of engaging with opposition leaders, even those he disagreed with, as a model for fostering dialogue and finding common ground.

Dimon also urged policymakers to develop policies that acknowledge America's critical role on the global stage. He outlined a comprehensive national policy agenda, which includes addressing income inequality, expanding the economy, managing national debt, maintaining a strong military, controlling borders, strengthening social safety nets, and promoting national pride through civic education.

Dimon criticized the Biden administration's decision to delay long-term liquid natural gas projects in Louisiana and Texas, labeling it as "misguided and self-defeating." He argued that such a move is detrimental to the environment, the economy, and our allies who are currently defending their sovereignty and democracies and in dire need of secure and reliable energy sources.

In addition to these points, Dimon advocated for reforms that would make homeownership more accessible for lower-income families and for an expansion of the earned income tax credit. He lamented the lack of coherent policies in areas such as energy, education, infrastructure, housing, tax, and immigration, stating that while there is often agreement on the problems and goals, the solutions proposed are "too often simplistic and poorly designed."

Dimon also called on future American presidents to emulate President Lincoln's strategy of appointing a "group of rivals" to their team, thereby ensuring a diversity of perspectives and expertise. He criticized the tribal politics that often dominate government, arguing that the private sector, which produces 85 percent of the nation's jobs, should have a seat at the table.

Finally, Dimon urged presidential candidates to engage with all voters, recognizing their diversity and the validity of their differing viewpoints. He warned against the use of insults, stereotypes, scapegoating, and gaslighting, advocating instead for respectful engagement. In this way, Dimon's call to action serves as a reminder of the importance of strong leadership, unity, and pragmatic policy-making in navigating the challenges that lie ahead.
