Chrissie Hynde has appealed to Donald Trump to drop US charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

In a series of tweets directly addressed to Trump, the Pretenders frontwoman urged the importance of unity, regardless of political differences.

She began by referencing the conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, to whom Trump recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

“Dear Mr President, I often think of how much my father, Melville ‘Bud’ Hynde, who proudly served his country as a Marine on Guadalcanal, would have enjoyed your Presidency,” Hynde wrote.

Just remind him of the fact that Assange helped get Trump elected.

3. I encountered her once

I recognized her from 100 ft away, and tried to be discrete, but she caught me looking at her. She abruptly sashayed out of the area altogether - skittish as a gazelle.

5. I know cancel culture sucks

But she was canceled by me when she popped off at the mouth about the #metoo movement.
