Over the past year, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her supporters have worked hard to show people who Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump truly is.
They have pointed out his corrupt business practices, highlighted his prejudicial and exclusionary talking points, and have attacked his personal character. They have done so in such a detailed manner that it seems any veil hiding the real Donald Trump has been readily removed.
Because of this, people can now see beyond the crazy rhetoric and authoritative presence that has sustained him for this long during the presidential campaign. More and more people are beginning to be aware that, like his fake university, Donald Trump will make you promises and then go out and make the world better for only himself.
And nothing shows this aspect of Donald Trump’s character more clearly than a lawsuit that was filed against his campaign.
Vincent Bordini, a self-proclaimed “loyal Trump Campaign staffer,” filed suit claiming that Donald Trump’s North Carolina state director Earl Phillip allegedly pulled out a gun to threaten and intimidate several campaign staffers.
In the suit, Vincent Bordini describes a particular instance where he was in the passenger seat with Earl Phillip who was driving the car. Vincent Bordini says that Earl Phillips pulled out a pistol, put his right index finger on the trigger, and drove the barrel into his kneecap.
The pistol was fully loaded and the safety was not on, meaning that a normal occurrence like a speed bump could have led to a bloody mess and loss of life. After recovering from the shock, Vincent Bordini asked Earl Phillips “What the fuck are you doing?”
Earl Phillips took the pistol, put it away, and continued driving as if nothing was wrong.
The suit also highlights another instance where Earl Phillips pointed a gun at the Trump Campaign’s regional director of Western North Carolina. After witnessing this, Vincent Bordini took this problem up the chain of command to Stuart Jolly who is the Trump Campaign’s National Field Director.
But of course, nothing happened. So Vincent Bordini spoke on the phone with Donald Trump’s official Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski back in March of this year. One would think that a national campaign manager for a major political party would take steps to resolve an issue this serious.
Not the Trump Campaign. According to the suit, the Trump Campaign did absolutely nothing to deter Earl Phillips from this type of behavior. He was even still working with the campaign at the time this complaint was filed in court.
As shocking as the details in this lawsuit are, when you think about it they are pretty consistent with the culture of violence that has been created by Donald Trump and his entire campaign.
The man has a history of hurting small businesses who worked with him to help build his casinos. He has a history of derogatory language directed at immigrants and minorities and has a history of violent rhetoric directed at Hillary Clinton when he feels he is losing at the polls.
And when he gets called out on all of his behavior, he brushes it off and moves on, pretending like it never happened in the first place. So it should come as no surprise that this type of behavior is occurring at the state level on the Trump Campaign.
Ignoring the complaints of a person who is devoid of power in a situation of pure intimidation, well that sounds like just another average day for a man like Donald Trump.
Bordini, who was hired as a software trainer for the Trump Campaign, is suing for assault, battery and negligent retention, and battery and supervision, among other claims.
