Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Thursday that more than a dozen of her former Trump administration colleagues plan to meet next week to try and stop former President Donald Trump as he continues to "manipulate people and divide our country."

"Next week, a group of former Trump staff are going to come together, administration officials are going to come together and we're going to talk about how we can formally do some things to try and stop him and also, the extremism, that that kind of violence, rhetoric that has been talked about and continues to divide our country," Grisham told CNN's John Berman and Brianna Keilar in an interview on "New Day."

Grisham, who was also chief of staff to former first lady Melania Trump, declined to reveal who will be joining her in the efforts, but said there would be "about 15" of her former colleagues, including some who worked inside the White House. Some of the officials, she said, were junior to her, while others were senior. A few of the officials had "informal chats," did outreach to others, and conducted "some Zooms, some conference calls," culminating in the partially in-person formal meeting next week, according to Grisham.

Several people involved in the effort who spoke to CNN said the group currently includes between 15 to 20 individuals who served in the Trump administration, but have since soured on the former President, and who believe his indisputable control of the Republican Party is negatively impacting the country.

Among those invited to participate in the meeting were former senior officials like Chris Krebs, who had directed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency inside the Department of Homeland Security, and former top White House aides like John Bolton, whom Trump ousted from his role as

Melania hired Grisham, not Trump. All he did was move her to the West Wing.

how do they intend to stop him?
.....................................
The same way they stopped him in the last election: The grand coalition of Uniparty Socialists, Communists, Progressives, and other traitorous bast*rds financing and facilitating massive fraud at the polls! It’s a done deal my friend!

isn’t it up to the voters to decide who we want as president?
........................................................
Voters can decide whatever they want, but that’s not the same thing as deciding who will actually be president. Where were you living at the time of the 2024 election, MARS?

He sure has been lousy at finding people even halfway competent, much less honorable to help him run the nation. Most of them are horrible backstabbers.
..........................................................
And after four years of choosing the those horrible backstabbers he STILL has hopes of winning the 2024 election running as a Republican??????????????? Somebody needs to clue him in that his WORST enemies are the GOP apparatchiks who will be working with the ‘rats to ensure his defeat!
