Trump must TRiUMPh
Yes, I agree.
I get it, that Sowell doesn’t like Trump at all, it can’t be forced.
The first paragraph mentioned Trump, with faint praise, then the whole article talks about ‘generic Republican politicians’ this or that.
So don’t style your article title “Trump and Blacks”
Maybe Prof. Sowell will ultimately be able to vote for Trump. One step at a time.
Hopefully so, this is a small step in the right direction.
Well put

I do like Sowell but my total worship went away when he started writing out against the Tea Party about 2 years ago.
I was really, really shocked.
I also don’t like it when he smears Trump.
I thought there would never be ANY day I’d fail to do somersaults over his articles, but that day arrived a couple years ago.
He’s....pretty good.
“He said, no matter who the source is.
Which is kind of like saying “even a stopped clock is right twice a day.””
I don’t think the two statements are the same. The stopped clock deserves no credit for coincidentally being right twice a day. Sowell is giving Trump credit, perhaps a bit backhandedly, but that’s just to save face.
After all, Sowell is publicly admitting he was wrong about Trump. He’s expressing surprise as if to say “who knew?”
Well, a lot of us knew, but it takes courage and intellectual honesty to admit you were wrong - we can allow a little face saving I think.
Sowell is a little late to the party, but I’m relieved that he’s saying what he’s saying. Thomas Sowell is not someone you want on the opposing team.
I am very proud to say I was a very early boarder on the Trump train (the first debate when he masterfully answered Megan Kelly’s shameless gotcha attempt with the timeless words: “only Rosie O’Donnel”).
Yet, I must admit that if you told me two years ago that Donald Trump would be the man who would make America great again, I’d have thought you were crazy. The point is every intelligent person climbs aboard the Trump Train, but it is always stopping to pick up more passengers.
All aboard the Trump train! Better late than never!
An ethical man who loves America and his fellow Americans.
Doing a job no one else could because he knows if he doesn’t America is going down. Thank God.
Sowell acquiring a taste for Trump’s bold brash style much as he would have to for pickled herring. Glad he is at least trying!
“nice pants”
Snort. Jeans are for menial labor.
I haven’t owned a pair since 1974.
“I own and have read most of Sowell’s books. He was my hero along with Walter E Williams. Sowell lost me when he joined 19 other thug authors of hate in that infamous issue of national review. I was very saddened and felt betrayed by someone I greatly admired and respected. Sowell does not exist for me anymore.”
Same here, except that he still exists for me as a scholar.
I am baffled by his support for McLame, Mittens “Karl Marx” Romney, and Anybody-but-Trump, and would love to hear his explanation.
You’re right... the country’s on the wrong track... going the wrong direction and Trump can stop it. Elites will run us into the ground — elites of both parties...
Thank God for Trump.
Fortunate Son. I probably have more than one suit that cost less than that pair of pants.
Now my manual labor jeans; that’s another story entirely.
It is not unheard of for people to place a ridiculous value on objects that have no intrinsic value to justify their cost. I am amused by the tulip bulb crash.

Some people are silly enough to believe that work clothes of virtually no intrinsic value—jeans—are worth large amounts of money because they are “cool.” Or whatever silly word may be current.
Think Rodney Dangerfield’s character in Caddy Shack, minus all the charm and sophistication.
Your suits, I’m sure, both display and command respect.
Those jeans on that turkey say to me, “I’m a drooling moron who not only believes that work clothes show high social standing, but who is also willing to pay weapons-grade stupid quantities of probably stolen money for them. Not only am I trash, not only am I unintelligent, uneducable, obnoxious trash, not only does my inability and unwillingness to earn a living (unless I am a perpetrator of rap or basketball) make me a clear and present danger to you and your family, I will never even realize how I am being flim-flammed into trading resources that could put my life on the right track for denim work pants.”
(Pant, pant.)
It was those pig-eyed, inbred, shanty-Irish trash Kennedys who lowered the bar on jeans in polite society. Just one more bite of poison fed to the American people.
BTW: I am not a fortunate son. There may not be much left of me, but whatever there ever was was self-made.
