the donald's character - or lack of it - is causing the ABC Commission to give consideration to the effort to rescind the liquor permit for tRump's DC hotel
had he divested - as he promised before being sworn in - his morals and character would not now be able to be used against him in this unique effort
... the ABC board’s taking a hard look at the complainants’ argument that Donald Trump, the “true and actual owner” of the Trump Old Post Office LLC trading as the Trump International Hotel, is not a person of “good character” as required by law.The complaint, filed on behalf of seven D.C. residents by attorney Joshua A. Levy, contends that if good character involves an evaluation of someone’s moral and ethical qualities, including the virtues of honesty, integrity and how a person treats others, especially the less fortunate, then Trump flunks the test because of his behavior “both before and during his presidency.”

Their complaint says the president has “repeatedly been deceitful,” specifically citing statements involving his net worth, conflicts of interest and payments made to pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels. It says he “lacks integrity,” citing lawsuits claiming that Trump University defrauded students; alleging that his companies refused to pay business contractors, “forcing them to go to court to spend money in order to get paid”; noting that at least 16 women have said he sexually assaulted them; and that he has “engaged in racism.”
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.”
