'white house volteface?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'go bonkers with fiasco' is the wordplay.
'go bonkers' becomes 'flip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'fiasco' becomes 'flop' (I've seen this in another clue).
'flip'+'flop'='FLIP-FLOP'

'following' is the link.
