CLUELESS 472

Welcome to Clueless, our informal weekly clue setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to donate a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

Explanations are ENCOURAGED for complex or obscure clues.

Clues should be submitted by 9:00 pm (UK time) on Wednesday April 29th.

Please clue for :

PRESIDENT (9)

The word was chosen because I am still gob-smacked that the man in charge of the 'red button' could in all sincerity recommend an injection of Dettol to cure Covid19 . . Even I know that disinfectants are more efficacious taken orally . .

Have fun !

This is an oldie Hannah PR46. I have not looked and I am sure the crew won't either!
Trump's position now includes Idaho(9)

Had a quick peek . .

Many of the 'old hands' must have gone to 'a better place'

The one's still here won't remember :)

Head's trip ends badly after taking Ecstasy (9)

Trump ultimately living in Washington, say (9)

Perhaps Macron, “après identité” change includes himself (9)

I would invade to show who's boss (9)

Tweak:

Perhaps Macron, “après identité” change, embraces himself (9)

Up to 45p (9)


[I tried to use the < sign instead of 'up to' but computer said no hence that blank post!]
