People need to stop judging everyone by how they might not like something Trump does. How do you get that he “hates” him? And isn’t that a bit slavish and one-noted to base everything on how they relate to Trump?
I would never give up on Sowell; he has proven far too great on conservative principles.
Even though he supports Yankee part of the Civil War, I still love him. But pro-confederate Walt Williams has my heart even more. ;-)
OK, I take that back. I have no basis to believe that Sowell “hates” Trump, so that stretch of mine was not fair.
I read parts of Sowell’s economics book years back. But I think Trump has rewritten the rules on how to successfully deal with foreign trade problems, especially stopping the export of jobs to other nations and protecting domestic manufacturing of steel and other key economic infrastructure.
What we learned from Trump is that too much foreign deficits hollows out our manufacturing and is net destroyer of the country. And the Trump doctrine challenges the hard line laissez-faire economics that Sowell taught.
I did a quick search and could not find a story where Sowell praised Trump for anything. But then again, a Google search on Trump matters doesn’t often come up with praise.
Like you, I do like Walter Williams very much.
