Wife separating POTUS and PM on TV makes way clearer (11)
I believe the answer is:
bushwhacker
'way clearer' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'wife separating potus and pm on tv' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w'.
'separating' indicates putting letters inside.
'potus' becomes 'bush' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'pm on tv' becomes 'hacker' (I've seen this before).
'bush'+'hacker'='bushhacker'
'w' going inside 'bushhacker' is 'BUSHWHACKER'.
'makes' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
