How the US voted encompasses Donald's number one taboo (9)
I believe the answer is:
forbidden
'one taboo' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forbidden that I've seen before include "Prohibited, taboo" , "Illicit pleasure" , "Disallowed, banned" , "Verboten, prohibited" , "Not allowed, banned" .)
