Religious leaders and former judges filed a complaint on Wednesday asking the Washington D.C. Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to revoke the Trump International Hotel’s liquor
license because of President Trump’s character.

The complaint argues that a D.C. liquor license can be suspended or revoked if the “true and actual owner" of an establishment is not a person of "good character." “Donald Trump,
the true and actual owner of the Trump International Hotel, is not a person of good character. The Trump International Hotel nonetheless currently holds a Class C/H license issued by
the Board,” the complaint reads.

The complainants, who are D.C. residents, are asking the board to investigate Trump's "lack of good character." They also want the hotel's licensee, Trump Old Post Office LLC, to appear
before the board to show cause why its license to sell and serve alcoholic beverages should not be revoked.

The complaint notes that “good character” investigations are typically done when someone applies for a license or for renewal, but argues that the board should investigate Trump’s
“lack of good character now” because of recent events.

The group lists lies the president has told, sexual assault accusations against Trump and alleged racist acts.They also call out Trump for his “failure to abide by the law and to
repudiate associations with known criminals.”

The D.C. Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Though funny, acting like a child is not very productive.

"Very bad! Big meanie religious leaders and judges (HILLARY SYMPATHIZERS) take away alcohol! Not good!"

How is this acting like a child?

If it gets revoked, it will be a clear and legal court document saying that Trump is a poor character.

Did you not read this part:

The group lists lies the president has told, sexual assault accusations against Trump and alleged racist acts.They also call out Trump for his “failure to abide by the law and to
repudiate associations with known criminals.

They aren't just going to a court and saying "he's kind of an asshole", they have formal, fair, and real accusations to make.

DC making a ruling over a very petty matter is not going to convince the people who need to be convinced Trump is moron. People will look at it and go "see, they don't actually have anything on him so they have to smear him with stupid stuff like this!"

If you think the point of this is to convince undecided swing voters that Trump is a moron, you've missed the whole point.

This is about punishing Trump, even if it is a small, fairly insignificant thing. If it's successful you can guarantee he'll take it personally and tweet about it as if it's the most important thing on the federal agenda.

It’ll never go through. Trump will complain it’s politically motivated and that’ll be it.
