As you undoubtedly recall from the covid plandemic, the power of the state was brought to bear on restaurants and bars that flouted the ludicrous, unscientific (as even Fauci has now admitted) restrictions and shutdowns by revoking liquor licenses (among other horrors) to bring to ruin small businesses.
Once Democrats find a way to harm people, via lawfare or other means, they gleefully embrace the means to their end. In this case, their end goal is the political (and financial) ruin of former president Donald Trump.
Enter the state of New Jersey, which is reportedly seeking to revoke the liquor licenses of the state’s Trump golf course. Because Orange Man Bad.
This angle seems to have first been pursued in 2018 when Democrats demanded that Trump’s liquor license be revoked in DC. Because reasons. It didn’t work, of course, but now they have their (Trump approval boosting) mantra of “convicted felon” on which to hang their pointy banana republic hat.
The New Jersey Attorney General’s Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) is reviewing the liquor licenses held by former President Donald Trump’s golf courses in the state following his criminal conviction in New York, the agency confirmed.Trump holds three active licenses for Trump National Golf Club Colts Neck, Lamington Farm Club and Trump National Golf Club Pine Hill.”ABC is reviewing the impact of President Trump’s conviction on the above referenced licenses, and declines further comment at this time,” a spokesperson for the agency said in an email.Issuing a liquor license “to any person who has been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude” is against the law in New Jersey. Applicants for a liquor license must have a reputable character and would be expected to operate the licensed business in a reputable manner, giving the division of alcoholic beverage control the discretion to consider Trump’s criminal history.
Team Trump was quick to point out the obvious.
The Trump Organization pushed back against the new probe into the liquor licenses of three Trump-owned golf courses in New Jersey, stating the inquiry is baseless as former President Trump is not the holder of the licenses.“President Trump is not the holder of any liquor license in New Jersey, and he is not an officer or director of any entity that holds a liquor license in New Jersey – or anywhere in the United States for that matter,” a spokesperson for the Trump organization said in a statement to The Hill.“These are some of the most iconic properties in the world, and reports like this do nothing but harm the thousands of hard-working Americans who derive their livelihoods from these spectacular assets,” the Trump Organization spokesperson wrote.. . . . Upon being sworn into the White House in January 2017, Trump turned over management of the Trump Organization to his two sons Donald Jr. and Eric Trump.
Needless to say, people have thoughts.
It is odd that Democrats keep doubling down on ‘Get Trump’ despite clear evidence that it is not only not working but is actually creating more support for Trump, motivating Trump voters like never before, and alienating their own traditional base. It’s one of those head scratching things that makes you go “hmmm.”
