What can be said of Trump or one like Trump? (10)
I believe the answer is:
capitalist
'trump?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'what can be said of trump or one like' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'said' could be 't' (I've seen this in other clues) and 't' is found within the answer.
'trump' could be 'cap' (both can mean to beat or override) and 'cap' is located in the answer.
'one' could be 'li' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'li' is found within the answer.
'like' could be 'as' and 'as' is located in the leftover letters.
The remaining letters 'it' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for capitalist that I've seen before include "Free enterprise supporter" , "Marx's bourgeois - a static lip (anag)" , "investor" , "Seeker of profit in business" , "business person?" .)
