'cross over' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'i'll make trump shaken up when i choose' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'make' could be 'pee' (synonyms) and 'pee' is found within the answer.
'when' could be 'on' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'on' is found within the answer.
'i' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.
