The liquor license for Trump International Hotel in downtown D.C. is up for renewal. And a group of D.C. residents made up of clergy members and judges is asking ABRA to deny the license because the man who is running the country isn’t fit, in their eyes, to run a bar.

D.C. law says liquor license holders must be of “good character and generally fit for the responsibilities of licensure,” said Joshua Levy, an attorney working with the judges and clergy members who filed a complaint explaining how they believe this does not describe Trump.

Is it political protest, municipal-regulatory-board style? Maybe.

It’s no secret that D.C. isn’t Trump country, no matter how hard he tries to make it so. See Fourth of July takeover.

But making the public take measure of him against other innkeepers is a fine way to make a point.
