              His latest salvo came in the form of
              <a data-linktext="a lawsuit against" data-linktype="Normal" style="color:#4C84AA;" target="_blank">
               a lawsuit against
              </a>
              JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon for allegedly closing his bank account, along with those of his affiliated 
businesses, after the Jan. 6 insurrection. Most experts believe it has little merit.

              “This is a pretty serious assault on Wall Street,” Nicholas Anthony, a financial policy analyst at the libertarian-leaning Cato Institute, told Quartz Washington. “The skirmishes are what we saw last year when he was calling out the banks, often by name, on TV and at rallies. This is a very big jump ... a much more serious attack for the sitting president to challenge a bank in court.”
             </div>
             <div>
              <br/>
             </div>
             <div>
              The lawsuit could mark the
start of a gloves-off confrontation between Trump and Wall Street executives who have strained to avoid angering the White House. In 2024, the president wooed Wall Street financiers with promises to build on his first term: More tax cuts and deregulation, such as when he rolled back the Dodd-Frank regulations that had been applied to the banking sector after the 2008 financial crisis.
             </div>
             <div>
              <br/>
             </div>
             <div>
              What’s different now is Trump’s more aggressive approach, one that uses verbal brickbats to enforce loyalty — or at least, quell his 
critics in corporate America. At the World Economic Forum just days into his second term last year,
              <a data-linktext="he scolded" data-linktype="Normal" style="color:#4C84AA;" target="_blank">
               he scolded
              </a>
              Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and accused the bank of not doing adequate business with conservatives.
             </div>
             <div>
              <br/>
             </div>
             <div>
              Then in August 2025,
              <a data-linktext="the president demanded" data-linktype="Normal" style="color:#4C84AA;" target="_blank">
               the president demanded
              </a>
              Goldman Sachs chief executive David Solomon replace the firm’s top economist over his tariff forecasts. On Solomon, 
Trump added “maybe, he ought to focus on being a DJ.”

              Trump has swung at Wall Street for 
much of January in cobbling together an “affordability” agenda. Going after large banks and investment funds was partly self-serving: Public surveys showed Trump’s economic approval dipping ahead of the 2026 midterms, and Wall Street still presents a juicy political foil during election season.

              The president put forward a proposal to bar large investment firms from snapping up single-family homes. Another sought to enact a one-year, 10% cap on credit card interest rates, an idea

              by Sen. Bernie Sanders. Dimon and Moynihan roundly criticized the latter as a threat to credit access for low-income Americans. They left out that it would be a big hit to bank profits too.

              It proved a rare example of public dissent with Trump from Wall Street giants. A year of on-again, off-again trade wars and attacks on the Federal Reserve 
hadn’t sparked major pushback. The Business Roundtable, for example,

              One testy exchange between Dimon and The Economist editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes at the WEF in Davos, Switzerland might have grabbed more attention if not for Trump’s mania for Greenland. Minton Beddoes

              Dimon was visibly 
uncomfortable. He rattled off that he supported a stronger NATO military alliance, fewer tariffs, and wanted the Trump administration to dial back its hardline immigration crackdown. “I’ve said it, what the hell else do you want me to say?” he added, without ever actually answering the question.

              Trump’s fight with Wall Street could have surprise winners in one sector: crypto. “There's this competitive edge that this sort of last approach to crypto regulation enforcement gives crypto over traditional finance,” Reilly 
Steel, a finance professor at Columbia Law School, told Quartz Washington.

             <div>
              But it’d be a mistake to assume Wall Street hasn’t scored victories of its own. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau switched sides to kill its own rule last year

              an $8 limit on credit card late fees. And White House 
budget director Russ Vought is barreling ahead with shuttering the CFPB, long unpopular in the financial sector.

              The CFPB has successfully returned $21 billion to consumers. The agency’s future, though, hangs on a federal court hearing next month. It has

              For now, Wall Street executives are straining to put their best foot forward. “Our relationship with the administration is very, very good,” Solomon

               told Bloomberg News
              </a>
              in an interview published Tuesday, adding “this administration is open for business and it’s engaged with 
business.”

              Without delving into specific events, Solomon cast the seismic geopolitical developments of the month as only “speed bumps” on the path to prosperity. “I think at the moment, generally, things look relatively green.”

              Spot gold prices surpassed $5,100 an ounce this week, breaking a record as investors scrambled to acquire safe assets. Many investors are unnerved that longstanding ties between the U.S. and European Union are in danger of fraying further.
