Vincent Caldera, the pilot who flies Donald Trump running mate Mike Pence around from one campaign stop to the next, is currently being sought by the authorities so they can deliver the paperwork in filing charges against him. He’s accused of purposely running over his coworker with a car and then backing up and running him over twice more, and in a separate instance he’s accused of purposely running into a woman with his motorcycle.

In a third incident reported earlier by Daily News Bin, the Donald Trump campaign has fired North Carolina Campaign Director Earl Phillip after he allegedly pulled a gun on one of his fellow staffers. But the firing didn't take place until months after the colleague had filed a complaint, and only after he finally filed a lawsuit over the matter. In yet another incident, a former Trump campaign director in Mississippi was arrested after threateningly swinging an axe in public.

Maybe they hired someone in a hurry who wasn't that experienced ?
