ABC board rules against Trump -- he may lose his liquor license for Trump DC Hotel

By Bob Brigham

. . . The renewal of the license was challenged over whether Trump was fit to be owner. The Trump Organization sought to have the complaint dismissed, but the District of Columbia Alcoholic Beverage Control board denied the request.

The board allowed the group contesting the license to protest on the grounds of character, as the law requires the owner to be “of good character and generally fit for the responsibilities of the licensure.”

6. They could win, he did get barred from running

A charity. If it were anyone else, that would likely clinch it.

That would be beautiful karma.

[Duppers]

10. Yes! That should sink his licensing.

And would make a great campaign ad for our Democratic candidate.

I had forgotten about the charity. We need to shove that down wingers' throats.

7. It will be the first BYOB "luxury" hotel in the country. But he won't lose much business....

....Saudis don't drink alcohol.

8. I've seen Saudis

in Thailand drunk out of their minds. I worked in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi for a few years and saw local citizens in the hotel bars partying hard.

9. It proves the point - Chump should never have been allowed to buy the hotel

His ownership of this hotel is breaking laws all over the place.

[Raster]

14. I don't believe he bought the hotel building...

...I believe it is a lease, which in my opinion, makes it worse.

[Cyrano]

11. And another win for the scamster

[JDC]

12. this will not hold and get fixed - somehow, someway.

17. Without a Liquor License, Business at the Hotel Will Take a Nosedive

Given his poor character, this license renewal could actually fail.
