Donald Trump resigns from SAG-AFTRA in letter after union votes to expel him
Donald Trump has preemptively resigned from SAG-AFTRA as the actors’ union unanimously voted to move forward with a disciplinary process that could have resulted in fines and his expulsion.
The disciplinary hearing was to discuss Trump’s actions on the January 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol and for “a reckless campaign of misinformation aimed at discrediting and ultimately threatening the safety of journalists, many of whom are SAG-AFTRA members,” according to a press release.
On Thursday, Trump, 74, submitted a rambling and boastful exclamation-filled letter of resignation to union president Gabrielle Carteris.
Carteris and national executive director David White had two simple words in response to Trump’s abrupt resignation: “Thank you.”
