EXCLUSIVE: President Trump is resigning from the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists after they threatened to expel his membership from the union after the Capitol riot -- to which he said, "Who cares!"
The former president's letter of resignation Wednesday comes after the SAG-AFTRA board voted "overwhelmingly" that Trump violated the union's membership guidelines in the wake of the Capitol riot.
Fox News exclusively obtained the letter sent to SAG President Gabrielle Carteris, slamming the union, the media and news organizations.
"I write to you today regarding the so-called Disciplinary Committee hearing aimed at revoking my union membership. Who cares!" Trump wrote to Carteris.
"While I’m not familiar with your work, I’m very proud of my work on movies such as Home Alone 2, Zoolander and Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps; and television shows including The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saturday Night Live, and of course, one of the most successful shows in television history, The Apprentice—to name just a few!" Trump wrote.
Trump, who left office last month, said he has "also greatly helped the cable news television business (said to be a dying platform with not much time left until I got involved in politics), and created thousands of jobs at networks such as MSDNC and Fake News CNN, among many others."
"Which brings me to your blatant attempt at free media attention to distract from your dismal record as a union," Trump wrote. "Your organization has done little for its members, and nothing for me—besides collecting dues and promoting dangerous un-American policies and ideas—as evident by your massive unemployment rates and lawsuits from celebrated actors, who even recorded a video asking, ‘Why isn’t the union fighting for me?’"

Poke the bear and get your backside chewed off.
It’s their loss. He’s their best actor and most entertaining.
Best president ever.
RE: Trump resigns from Screen Actors Guild
Looking at the way the SAG has been awarding movies recently, we might as well call them the Film Actors Guild.
He never should have resigned. Let them expel him. Go out with dignity.
Same as people who apologize to liberals still get fired or cancelled.
Wahtta bout the Film Actors Guild?
Good for him! 💕
Expect them to put out statements saying their account was hacked and that was not them, in some frantic effort not to be on the same side as the Office of the Next President.
Not AFTRA-— he’s still good. SAG is a joke dwindling members and power they think they have, but don’t.
“Being President trumps” being a simple actor, bit*hes!”
F.A.G. mafia thugs
For those who aren’t aware, television “reporters” are members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). Yes, they’ve been card-carrying actors and actresses for quite some time now.
SAG response: “You can’t quit, we’re kicking you out!”
to which he said, “Who cares!”
classic Trump lol
DEFINITELY!!!
He is one in a trillion. God broke the mold with that one.
