Sowell endorsed Trump against Hillary Clinton, but had some fairly harsh words about Trump the man. And unlike Lincoln, Trump is an egotist who never forgives an insult.

Sowell gets Trump, and almost everything else, correct. Here’s his post-election 2016 comments: https://www.investors.com/politics/columnists/thomas-sowell-trumps-the-one-so-what-now/

“Among others who could also use some rethinking is Donald Trump himself. When he acted like a petulant adolescent, he may have gotten the adulation of his core constituents. But it was only toward the end, when he began to act like a responsible adult seeking the highest office in the land, that he began to overtake Hillary Clinton.

Donald Trump is a wild card. We don’t know whether he was play-acting when he carried on like a juvenile lout or when he played the role of a mature adult. But he and the country could both benefit from some serious introspection on his part.”

Sadly, Trump doesn’t do introspection.
