AceShowbiz - Twin Peaks director David Lynch has addressed the recent remarks he made about divisive U.S. leader Donald Trump after learning the President had retweeted his apparent praise.
Trump also read out quotes attributed to the filmmaker and musician during a rally in South Carolina, prompting Lynch to hit social media and assure the President he isn't a fan, despite telling Breitbart, "He could go down as one of the greatest presidents in history because he has disrupted the thing so much".

Lynch took to Facebook on Tuesday, June 26, to explain his comments to Trump, stating: "I wish you and I could sit down and have a talk. This quote which has traveled around was taken a bit out of context and would need some explaining."
"Unfortunately, if you continue as you have been, you will not have a chance to go down in history as a great president. This would be very sad it seems for you - and for the country. You are causing suffering and division.
"It's not too late to turn the ship around," he added. "Point our ship toward a bright future for all. You can unite the country. Your soul will sing. Under great loving leadership, no one loses - everybody wins. It’s something I hope you think about and take to heart. All you need to do is treat all the people as you would like to be treated".
