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 quite understand how this works, but
'red' could be 'r' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'on' could be 'to' and 'to' is located in the leftover letters.
'number' could be 'x' (X is an example) and 'x' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the 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" .)
