Trump Loses Liquor License

Not only does former President Donald Trump have an election to worry about, but apparently also the booze at his golf courses. 

The liquor licenses for two of his golf courses in New Jersey have not been renewed, as state officials probe whether his conviction in his hush money case affects the holding of these licenses. 

The two golf courses impacted are Trump National Golf Club in Colts Neck and Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, as their licenses expired this past Sunday, at the end of the month. However, they have been issued interim permits to serve alcohol in the meantime, until a hearing is held on the matter, which is scheduled for July 19th.

That hearing follows Trump’s sentencing, which is scheduled for next week on July 11th. A spokesperson for the Trump Organization called the hearing for the renewal “unwarranted and unjustified.”

The spokesperson also stated that this would affect many workers (i.e. their bartenders) and also people who book special events at the courses (i.e. weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, etc.). The Trump Organization is also pushing back on this matter with the idea that Trump himself is not the direct holder of these liquor licenses. 

For whatever reason, the division DID renew the license for the Trump National Golf Club Philadelphia, which, despite its name, is actually located in Pine Hill, New Jersey. 

What a time to be alive. Our President may be unfit for re-election. The favored replacement, Gavin Newsom, is starting a podcast with Marshawn Lynch instead. And the betting favorite to win the Election is wrapped up in porn star hush money scandals and golf course liquor licenses. Other than that, how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?
