He’s a good man and I’ve enjoyed him for years.
However, his recent issues with Donald Trump blew me away and really left me wondering if he had started losing his marbles. He probably sees the start of Trump’s cabinet and realizes he was wrong with his words.
Thomas Sowell is a thoughtful Conservative man of the old school. He sees Trump as a not-so-thoughtful populist, who may or may not be a Conservative. I have had some of the same uncertainties (some of his positions are conservative, but some are not), so I understand his misgivings. (If Trump just follows through on his promised Originalist picks for the courts, I will be happy - if he does more than that, I will be very happy)
Goebbels' "big lie" told often enough can affect even the usually intelligent. Dr. Sowell's resistance might have waned, so perhaps he started to believe the media crapfest.
