An anti-Trump group of "people around me" is doing something to prevent it from returning to the White House.

Didn't expect that! Now the most fierce anti-Trump is these "people around"

On January 19, local time, the U.S. Supreme Court decided to reject the lawsuit filed by former President Trump for trying to prevent the National Archives from handing over documents to the House Special Committee. This is a major progress won by the Democratic-led investigation into the congressional riots, and it also appears to be a "major failure" for Trump.

But, despite this, as public opinion support for the Biden administration continues to decline, rumors that Trump will run again in the election in 2024 remain widespread. The latest prediction comes from Dick Morris, a former senior adviser to former U.S. President Clinton. He said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Trump were "likely" to face off again in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

Obviously, morris is not the only one in American politics who thinks so. According to the "Business Insider" website recently quoted by CNN, more than 30 people who were originally Trump's "people around" were also worried that Trump would make a comeback, so they held a conference call this week to discuss what kind of plan to make to block the former boss.

Resistance within the Trump administration is united

According to CNN, former Trump administration officials who participated in the "blocking" conference call on the same day included former Homeland Security Secretary and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, former White House Communications Director Scara Mucci, former White House Press Secretary and Melania Trump's spokesman Grisham, Trump's former public relations director Griffin and more than 30 others.

CNN anchor Jack Tapper said the call was initiated and chaired by Myers Taylor, a former Trump administration official who served as chief of staff for homeland security. Taylor's official position is not obvious, but his reputation in American politics is not low.

In 2018, the New York Times published an article titled "I am part of the resistance movement within the Trump administration," when Trump also vowed to pull out the "deep throat" around him. Taylor is allegedly the author of this article.

Former White House press secretary Gerishham revealed for the first time that there is such an anti-Trump organization composed of "people around him". She told CNN on Jan. 6 that the group was meeting to discuss how to "formally do something to try to stop Trump."

Blocking Trump may start with his financial support

So, what can these "people around you" do to stop Trump?

Taylor told CNN that the people on the conference call were "full of ideas" about how to stop Trump. Their initially established focus is to understand who Trump's financial backers are, and then figure out how to defeat Trump-backed candidates for the 2022 midterm elections and candidates for the 2024 election.

Judging by Taylor's statement, the group will be working against Trump until at least 2024. However, no name has been revealed, however, or how many members it has. Judging from the list of conference calls that have been exposed, most of the participants and Trump have old grudges.

People like John Kelly, a former White House chief of staff, would have been the closest person to Trump. His transition from military to homeland security secretary was appointed by Trump. In his White House chief of staff position, John Kelly helped Trump manipulate the firing of Bannon. Scaramucci, the former White House communications chief, was also fired by John Kelly. Today, they are all in the same trenches against Trump.

In 2018, the famous journalist Bob Woodward's book "Fear: Trump in the White House" broke the news that John Kelly had slammed Trump as an "idiot". After John Kelly left office in 2019, he repeatedly attacked Trump, saying that Trump "does not know any history at all, or even some basic information about the United States." He has also said that some of the things Trump informed him to do were illegal.

Skalamucci, the former White House communications director, is "known" for being fired less than two weeks after serving as White House communications director, which is naturally an insult.

Of course, there may also be some people who are not opposed to Trump because of "personal grudges". For example, Trump's public relations director Griffin has criticized the Republican Party's unwillingness to take responsibility for the riots in the Capitol, saying that the party is "morally in disrepair."

The "people around you" may not be able to stop Trump

As Trump's original "people around", they understand the operation of the White House power during the Trump era, the degree of political and business connections, and also understand Trump's mental state. In the future, they may expose far more "big melons" than in books such as "Fear: Trump in the White House."

However, their "bomb" may not hurt Trump.

On Jan. 15, Trump held his first rally of 2022 in Florence, a rural town in Phoenix, Arizona. In his speech, he promised: "This year we will take back the House of Representatives, we will take back the Senate, we will take back the United States," and "our country will be bigger, better, stronger than ever." We will return in a way that has never been seen before."

At the rally scene, Trump's supporters still fanatically waved the flag with the words "Trump 2024". This familiar scene means that far-right political forces in the United States, and a large number of people who are dissatisfied with real-life conditions and the Biden administration, still pin their hopes on Trump.

Although there are Trump's "people around" who stand up and vow to "block", there are new York Attorney General's Office investigations into Trump's real estate company fraud and other related actions, and even the Supreme Court has not "sided" with Trump, but under the trend of the US political environment continuing to split in the direction of "you die and I live", Trump's political energy is far from being exhausted.
