President Trump livid, in a rage (8,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vladimir putin

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

'president' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'trump livid in a rage' is the wordplay.
'rage' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trump'+'livid'+'in'+'a'='trumplividina'
'trumplividina' anagrammed gives 'VLADIMIR PUTIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for vladimir putin that I've seen is " Russia's president".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
