Could you use a stifle on the token created by Geist of saint Taft to prevent it from exiling

Yea it's a triggered ability
You would have to stifle the giest, not the token, since it's an ability of the Geist. I think this has been touched on before somewhere else...
regardless you stifle whatever is on the stack.
You're not stifling the token or Taft, but the delayed trigger which points at the token. Technicalities, I know, but technicalities matter in magic.
{stifle} targets?? {Geist of st traft} has hexproof? Can't work??

Hexproof is so only opponents cannot target the creature, you still can.
which doesn't even matter because you're not even stifling the geist or the token, you're stifling the trigger.

If you want, you could {Stifle} the trigger that your opponent's Giest creates to make the angel token. Once an ability is on Le Stack, it exists separate from the object that made it. The Geist may have hexproof, but an ability he puts on the stack doesn't.
Would a torpor orb do the same as stifle and stop the exile from happening
no because the trigger is not a creature entering the battlefield
