As former president Donald Trump awaits possible disciplinary action from Hollywood’s actors union, a new report states that an expulsion from the guild would hurt any media projects that the former president hopes to launch.
Trump is facing possible expulsion from SAG-AFTRA, Hollywood’s largest labor union that represents thousands of screen actors and TV journalists. The guild is reportedly contemplating expelling Trump over the Capitol Hill riots as well as his criticism of the mainstream media, which union leaders claim represents “actual harm” to its broadcast journalist members.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that an expulsion would make Trump a pariah in the media world. “I think expulsion would send a loud, clear message to SAG-AFTRA companies to consider not engaging him,” attorney Ivy Kagan Bierman told the trade magazine.
Most major Hollywood studios and networks are guild signatories. Trump hasn’t announced any future projects since leaving the White House, but pundits have long pushed the theory that he will launch some kind of media venture.
Trump has been a SAG-AFTRA member for decades, having starred in NBC’s The Apprentice and several TV commercials. The Reporter noted that Trump is now a resident of Florida, which is a right-to-work state that can’t force union membership as a pre-condition to employment.
Some experts believe that SAG-AFTRA won’t expel Trump, noting that the guild hasn’t expelled any actors implicated in #MeToo scandals. “I’m not aware of them having ever expelled someone for bad behavior,” attorney Schuyler Moore told the Reporter. “I’m not entirely sure they can.”

McCarthy was right.
Alienating 75 million Americans is not what I’d call a smart business plan.
Note to Hollyweird: Three guesses why we cut the cord, don’t watch new releases.
We can love happily without Holkyweird.
Can Hollyweird last without Trump supporters..?
AND WE BOYCOTT THEM JUST LIKE IN THE PAST WHERE THEIR BOYCOTT LED TO A BUYCOTTT OF GOYA FOODS.
80 MILLION VOTERS THE REAL FIGURE IF THE VOTES WERE COUNTED
CORRECTLY HAVE A LOT OF PURCHASING POWER.
LOOK AT FOX. LOOK HOW MUCH TWITTER STOCK IS DOWN.
I SAY BRING IT IF YOUR STUPID.
I agree. TV and movies as a rule, to me, are hours of my life I will never get back if i watch it. I don’t know many actors anymore, the ones from when i was younger are all mostly out of the business. The young ones are just weird and i figure the girls have all slept their way up
Yup. That’s the difference. McCarthy was spot on.
I haven’t seen tv in 15 years.
I quit watching movies after Endgame.
I borrow old movies from the library, have a roku, stream americas voice, oan, levin and rush podcasts
Why would they care? They already decided a decade ago to service Communist China.
His response was said to have been "because Republicans buy sneakers too".
If that did take place I'd commend Jordan for his wisdom...and intelligence.
Attorney Ivy Kagan Bierman, a Jew bragging about expelling someone from earning a living.
Obviously does not know history. The irony is lost on this one.
The McCarthy shibboleth is entirely a creation of the left. To use his name in a pejorative way is to further the aims of socialism/communism.
He was right as proved by the open archives from the KGB back in the 90s. He was on our side, exposing the Hollywood Commies and Commie lovers.
So now Hollywood is AOK with Blacklists.
Got it.
yes. Case and point . . .
Like Trump would really care. He was only in the union because he was forced to join it when he was on Th Apprentice.
Just what Hollywood needs as they are being systemically ruined by their own stupid ass wokeness.... 70 million less fans.
Trump didn’t do even a tiny fraction of “harm” to their “broadcast journalist members,” as they did to him with their non-stop propaganda and hysteria over him. They tossed all shred of journalistic integrity, balance, and honesty out the window to very openly become political partisans and activists because of their insane hatred of Trump. Trump didn’t force them to do that. They destroyed their own credibility all on their own.
