this seriously is not a joke


quote:

The owners of a wine bar in the nation's capital announced a lawsuit Thursday against President Trump, arguing that his ownership of the Trump International Hotel is driving business to him and away from small restaurants like theirs.









quote:


The Cork owners are not seeking money in their lawsuit but want a judge to "remedy the unfair competition," Rome said. One option: requiring Trump to divest his interest in the limited liability company that owns the hotel and its restaurants, he said.






quote:

Pitts and Gross, who are married, say their business has declined since Trump took office but said they could not provide a specific amount of revenue lost to Trump's businesses.



Good! Pussies like you two ought to fail, because it requires being MAGA to succeed in life. You're terrible examples of what people should aspire to be.


Now close your doors, let the real business men and women run things and go work for them.



ETA:

By the way, I just returned from DC on Sunday. Wife and I hit up the MAGA International for our Anniversary (aka MAGAversary) Saturday, and it was MAGA AF! Drinks were 25 bones each, and food in the 40-50 range.

Was it worth it?


Hells Yeah.



if these two clowns are charging 25 per drink and 50 per entree, then they are legitimate competitors to MAGA. If that's the case, then they will lose; however, if they are not at this price point, then they aren't even freaking competitors. Their complaint is absolute garbage



...as is her rancid face

If I were advising the Trumps, I would call their bluffs and do it. My guess that anyone who had that venue would be making bank and the complaintants would still be going out of business

If the plaintiff wins this lawsuit and collects "damages" based on loses due to market competition we are totally lost as a nation.

First rule of competition; take biz away from everyfrickingbodyelse.....I really hope this goes before a judge bc that could be epic and not in a good way for them

Serving Boone's Farm and Moscato doesn't make you a legit wine bar.

I'd be curious to know if an attorney signed that pleading.

I'm willing to bet that the clientele in their bar and Trump's bar aren't even close to being alike.

Zaid is a legit NatSec boutique firm.

I think this is a roundabout way of trying to get Trump to adhere to ethics laws.

They needed a client who can claim injury.

A simple solution, promote your bar as a Trump haven. Sink or swim.

I'm going with the fact that Trump is probably firing most of the people that used to drink there. So they either have moved, or have no funds to buy wine with?
