Concerned with innkeeper being a Trump supporter? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

republican

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

'a trump supporter?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'concerned with innkeeper' is the wordplay.
'concerned with' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'innkeeper' becomes 'publican' (I've seen this before).
're'+'publican'='REPUBLICAN'

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for republican that I've seen before include "Eg Lincoln" , "in foreign party" , "American politician" , "American in party" , "Member of US political party" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
