Election workers are facing unprecedented violent threats at the hands of Trump supporters, but the former president reportedly thinks there's an easy way for them to stop it — by admitting the 2020 election was really "stolen" from him.
Sources tell Rolling Stone that Trump "has stressed to close allies that if those individuals — who he says are 'harassing' him or trying to 'cheat' him out of the 2024 election — simply did what he wanted, the torrent of death threats would stop immediately."
Additionally, these sources say that Trump believes the threats against election workers and judges have been exaggerated or concocted by Democrats just to make him look bad.

Former Trump spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham went on the record to tell Rolling Stone that she's personally witnessed Trump blowing off concerns about election workers' safety.
"There were instances when I was in the room when I worked in the Trump administration... when one person or more would advise him that his words could potentially cause violence, and he would just wave his hand at you, like he was swatting away a fly, as if to say, ‘whatever’ or ‘shut up,’” she tells Rolling Stone.
“Every time something like that was given to him [he would do that]. It was his signal that he didn’t want to hear something. It was always that hand, and you just knew. If you got the hand wave, you knew not to bring it up again — it was his way of showing he thought you were being overly dramatic.”
