We do lose bookings sometimes and nobody ever gives you a reason. They don’t say, ‘We’re going to the Trump hotel instead of coming here.” Um, that’s CAPITALISM, folks!

The owners of the Washington, D.C., establishment Cork Wine Bar are suing President Donald Trump and the new Trump International Hotel, alleging that Trump is unfairly hurting their business.

Cork Wine Bar offers 200 international wines to its customers, but now the owners Khalid Pitts and Diane Gross, with the help of pro-bono lawyers, are seeking to prevent the operation of Trump’s D.C. hotel while Trump remains in control of it, The Washington Post reports.

Interestingly, the major players behind the suit are Democratic political activists and donors.

According to FEC data, Khalid Pitts is a Clinton donor and contributed $500 to her election effort in 2015, while he worked for the Sierra Club.

Both Pitts and Gross have been active in liberal political causes. Pitts also served as a campaign director for the Service Employees International Union. Gross is a former civil rights lawyer. http://www.bizpacreview.com/2017/03/10/dc-bar-owners-sue-trump-hote...
