Actually, ignoring Trump, perhaps statecraft of America is struggling (2,1,6,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
as a matter of fact
'actually' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'ignoring trump perhaps statecraft of america is struggling' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'america' could be 'sa' (South America, one of the Americas) and 'sa' is located in the answer.
'trump perhaps' could be 'matter' (trump is a kind of matter) and 'matter' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for as a matter of fact that I've seen before include "in reality" , "Actually" .)
