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.

Grisham said she is personally hoping to "travel the country and talk to people who are believers like I once was" and "explain who (Trump) really is," also calling the former President a "master manipulator."

I'll believe it when I see it.

1. I hope so and that they are successful

[LaMouffette]

2. On this day, it feels like momentum is gathering for Humpty Trumpty to take a big fall.

Seems like more people are losing their fear of speaking out against the oaf who would be king.

7. I would love to see that both figuratively and literally, please.

[turbinetree]

3. LOL...kind of late to get off that ship and onto another ship...now running to cover there backsides

[NCjack]

4. Sen. Lindsey Graham: You should be aware of this outrageous partisan effort!

[KS Toronado]

6. At least Susan Collins will be concerned.

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. New Third party, or GOP primary challenger?

Why would she leak this info, except in the hopes of giving TFG a stroke?

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Nice that you gave TFG fair warning, but counter-productive, no?

[C Moon]

9. Instead, they'll back DeSantis.

tagline, I scream at the TV..."Republicans have to hold Republicans accountable." Until that happens our democracy will remain on life support.

11. Did they ever consider

telling the fucking truth??

12. We don't have to like Grisham or her former Trump colleagues

But this is the sort of effort we need from all political, ideological groups who want to preserve the American Republic. It means rubbing shoulders with people of all political stripes, uniting behind the most important issue facing us all: Trump and his conspiracy-driven supporters, enablers and continuing sycophants who are willing to burn the house down if they can't get their own way.

That's how urgent the moment is. The majority of Americans have rejected Trumpism. We need to make that rejection a permanent feature going forward.

Strange, dangerous times makes for odd bedfellows. But a strong, united majority is our superpower to defeat these arsonists, then throw them to the curb, ultimately behind bars where they belong.

So any plausible strategy that Grisham and her colleagues can come up with to deflate Trump's influence is a good thing in my mind. This is a group who knows this network up close and personal. Go for it!

18. Yes

[randr]

13. Best way to stop him?

Lock Him Up!

[SheltieLover]

14. Lock him up, that's how!

[dflprincess]

15. The rats are jumping ship more than a year afrer they should have

I assume they think if they disavow him now they'll save themselves from prosecution.

[orangecrush]

16. Easy

Have a fleet of semi trucks deliver a massive order of KFC and Big Macs to Mar-A-Lago

[monkeyman1]

22. C.o.D. of course !

[Mr. Evil]

17. Until the M$M calls TFG and his enablers/co-conspirators the liars and traitors they are,

nothing will happen. We have to demand they do so. They only care about the daily crazy clown and dog and pony shows for their precious ratings.

Truth and decency are what foments a livable future. Until they stop chasing more and more money, it will not change.

19. I've

Been saying ever since he started his run in 2015, that he wants to be a modern day Hitler. There’s no doubt in my mind, he is a full blown sociopath/psychopath who wants to be an evil totalitarian dictator like the worst we have seen or read about, on the world stage.

Unfortunately it’s going to be a fight to the finish with the complicit republicans until that con man, liar and a cheat is no longer such a destructive influence with the MAGA moron crowd.

[BigmanPigman]

20. Good effort but it will land on deaf ears.

His psycho ego and his bank account are the only things the fucking moron cares about. He listens to no one who disagrees with him. He insults them and says, "You won't be my friend anymore, nyah, nyah nyah" followed be a raspberry to show how mature he is.

[Baked Potato]

21. She followed with, "He was so pleasant at first, then boom,

I just don’t recognize the great man I knew before. I mean, before January 6 I would have ironed this fallen hero’s trousers *and* let him grab my hoo-hoo a whole lot. But, to know now what the man was really like, ah hell no, fuck this RINO.”
