BWAHAHAHA. DC restaurant suing Trump and Trump Hotel for "unfair competition".
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/3/10/1641942/-DC-restaurant-files-suit-against-Trump-and-his-hotel-for-unfair-competitionCork Wine Bar owners Khalid Pitts and Diane Gross filed an unfair competition lawsuit against Donald Trump and the Trump International Hotel in DC Wednesday night, alleging that the president’s continued affiliation with the government-owned property puts competing businesses at a disadvantage.
At issue: Donald Trump has not divested himself from his hotel. Donald Trump continues, in fact, to visit his hotel. Donald Trump will walk away from the presidency to pocket a large chunk of money from a hotel that touts Donald Trump's status as president as a lure for diners and guests.
...
So here come the lawsuits; the lawyers taking on the case say they are "actively talking" to other possible plaintiffs as well.

Why stop at restaurants? Any business competing with a business touted by the President of the United States has that same disadvantage.
