      @VideoGamePlayer Um. Conspiracy much? Trump would lose popular support if he started SELECTING people for Congress. The president doesn't appoint people into congress and even if he tried it would be political suicide. Trump isn't going to try and do that.That and it would DEFINITELY get him ousted from his own party and impeached. And this is coming from a Trump supporter.
