Think I have the answer but, yet again, cannot cryptically parse it.

18a Trump, acquiring name for Mexican leader, snapped "***! Become white!" (4,4)

The * is a letter i.

T_R_ P_L_ must be TURN PALE meaning BECOME WHITE. But have no idea how it all works

[stainl88]

doesnt like rude words. the *** is a 4 letter word for liquid bodily fluid that rhymes with hiss

[Neveracrossword]

Trunp, with an N instead of the M (Mexican) +Ale = the asterisked word.

thanks

I've got the magazine, so checked the asterisks before I answered! Glad I could help.
