Leaders of House admit frankly Trump's a bit of a tool (4)
I believe the answer is:
haft
'a tool' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'leaders of house admit frankly trump's a bit of' is the wordplay.
'leaders of' indicates taking the first letters.
'a bit of' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'house admit' is 'ha'.
The initial letters of 'frankly trumps' is 'ft'.
'ha'+'ft'='HAFT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for haft that I've seen before include "Knife or axe handle" , "Handle (of e.g. axe)" .)
