Geraldo “Jerry” Maldonado, MBA, Assistant Professor of Business said “I do believe that President Trump is working to fulfill all of his campaign promises. This is somewhat unusual. Most Presidents promise A, B, and C. They deliver B, Y, and Z” a year after the election.
With it being a year after the election Maldonado said this about how he feels the presidency is going to date: “I think President Trump is doing well. Unemployment in 2009 was about 10% in the United States and 9% in Massachusetts. Today, the unemployment rate is below 5% and below 4%, respectively. In 2009, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was about 6,600. Today, the DJIA is over 23,000. Consumer Confidence Index is also very high, along with the Business Confidence Index”.
Maldonado’s take on what we will see for the 2020 election included these thoughts: “We will see a very interesting election cycle in 2020. We’ve had people running for President since December 2016. The win by President Trump was a shocked to most. Left or Right, it was surprising. The term “silent majority” was coined by President Richard Nixon and the silent majority spoke in 2016”
One final thought by Maldonado to the MWCC student body “let’s remember that the rules of the game were written in 1787 by very smart people. The rules included the Electoral College. Everyone playing the game of presidential politics knew the rules and knows the rules. We can’t decide that a field goal is worth 8 points after we lose the game”.
