Each son of Trump admits government is hypersensitive (8)

I believe the answer is:

allergic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hypersensitive' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'each son of trump admits government' is the wordplay.
'each' becomes 'all' (similar in meaning).
'son of trump' becomes 'eric' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'admits' is an insertion indicator (to admit is to allow in).
'government' becomes 'g' (abbreviation for government).
'eric' placed around 'g' is 'ergic'.
'all'+'ergic'='ALLERGIC'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
