Lana Del Rey clarifies comments on Donald Trump

“He has delusions of grandeur,” she told Annie Mac of BBC Radio 1 yesterday (January 11). “I think he’s sick.”

Now, Del Rey has clarified his comments, which have been widely shared on Twitter. “Just to take a moment to say what I was describing with the BBC is that Trump is so weakened that he may not know what he was doing due to his significant lack of empathy and the problem more wide is the issue of sociopathy and narcissism in America, ”she said.
