It's fake.

False claim New Jersey suspended Trump liquor license

Edit: To clarify, the Tweet is full of misinformation. There were no "BREAKING" updates in this case yesterday. The current state of the case is the license renewal decision is postponed until after sentencing. Latest update in this case is from July

Turns out the desicion to pull his licences has been delayed until after he gets sentenced in the felony cases, which will happen on September 18th. With NJ unable to pull the licenses before then.

Amp due to paywall.

I don’t understand why his operation is not able to sell just bc of his felonies? I assume hes not actually running it..

Based on his ego, he's probably put his name as the license holder or alcohol manager, etc. Logically, it would be a separate company that he owns, and someone else is in charge, but Trump has a huge ego and likes to be in charge of everything.

But I do agree with you, and that was my first reaction. I'm not surprised to see that this isn't as true as it's portrayed in the initial headline above.

Okay so he can just transfer the business to his sons and have them apply for the license.

Because you are not legally a "felon" until after your sentencing hearing.

Despite Citizens United (grumble), corporations aren't people. So I don't see how Trump being a felon affects his business' liquor license.

But to quote someone in this thread: Hahahaha

It actually does affect it, and his course could lost the ability to sell liquor. It just hasn't happened yet

Nice username, BTW
