Trump hotel risks liquor license over 'good character' requirement

President Trump’s hotel in D.C. risks losing its liquor license after local alcohol regulators agreed this week to consider whether he satisfies their “good character” requirement.

The district’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Board ruled Wednesday against dismissing a complaint lodged against the Trump International Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue.

A group of least five D.C. residents and property owners have protested that renewing the hotel’s liquor license would run afoul of city statute, the regulators wrote in their ruling.

“The Group challenges the renewal of the Applicant’s hotel license based on their allegation that President Donald J. Trump, an individual owner of at least one of the entities listed on the hotel’s liquor license, lacks ‘good character’ in accordance with D.C. Official Code§ 25-301(a), which is a requirement to qualify for renewal of the license,” they wrote.

Representatives for the hotel argued that the petition should be pitched, but the regulators ruled otherwise and refused to reject the complaints.

Sounds like the landlords that get in trouble because they don’t want to rent to scumbags.

From the article "A group of least five D.C. residents and property owners have protested that renewing the hotel’s liquor license would run afoul of city statute, the regulators wrote in their ruling."

STOP THE PRESSES - FIVE PEOPLE IN DC DON'T LIKE HIM.

I feel like we’re watching a bunch of bullies trying everything in their playbook.

Can’t wait until it all backfires on them.

Was the hotel originally granted a license during a year in which he was a registered democrat?

Trump should shut it down and let it become an empty shell, bringing in absolutely 0 revenue to DC.

I hope someone’s taking names.

Fine, lets put every owner whose liquor license comes up for renewal through the ringer, researching character and such. This kind of thing is absolutely disgusting and so easy to see through. Complaint should have been tossed right away.
