Well, Lennon did express regret for that stupid Imagine song he wrote later in life. But then he regretted even being associated with the radical left as well. He really was just a "peacenik", and it seemed to him in the early 70s that the pro-peace folks were on the Left. He split ways with them once he realized they were simply communists who wanted violent revolution.
It was his assistant that claimed he was a fan of Reagan. I don't know if that is true, and frankly I don't care. He said enough in the late 70s to make it obvious he wasn't particularly political to begin with, and that the one "cause" he ever had was peace. It's a vague cause to have, but not a terrible one.
As do I and most people on the planet. When I say "peace" as a cause "isn't terrible", I simply mean it's rather vague to just be pro-peace. Peace at all costs is an extremely naive viewpoint.
Bingo. This is what Trump, a businessman, entire foreign policy is built on.
This deal between UAE and Israel is basically “you two can agree to be cool and accept each other and if you do your countries and tour people can prosper like you never have before. You can build a tourism business like no one has ever seen.”
He’s out there selling the American dream to the rest of the world and it’s literally that simple and it begins with safety.”
Good try. Reagan, like many people, started out liberal as a young person and transitioned to Republican gradually over a couple of decades (1930s to 1950s). His alarm at finding real communists in Hollywood attempting to take over unions was partly why his views evolved. Which election are you referring to, in which he switched parties days before?

Trump has a thing for peace too

Peace is good for business (well, most businesses).

The Korean war may not be hot, but it is ongoing. Trump became my hero when it was one of the first things he picked up to work on.
Very well said.
