Dance in red on Trump's number one news channel? (7)
I believe the answer is:
foxtrot
'dance' is the definition.
(I know that foxtrot is a type of ballroom dance)
'red on trump's number one news channel?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'red' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is present in the answer.
'on' could be 'to' and 'to' is found within the leftover letters.
'number' could be 'x' (X is an example) and 'x' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for foxtrot that I've seen before include "Ballroom dance in quadruple time" , "Lively ballroom dance" .)
