The former president’s actions come after the union’s National Board voted “overwhelmingly” to convene a disciplinary process that could potentially result in his expulsion.
Donald Trump has preemptively submitted his resignation from SAG-AFTRA as the union moved through a disciplinary process that could have resulted in expelling him.
On Wednesday, the former president sent an exclamation mark-laden letter to union president Gabrielle Carteris announcing his resignation. “I no longer wish to be associated with your union,” Trump wrote after enumerating what he called the union’s “dismal record. … As such, this letter is to inform you of my immediate resigning from SAG-AFTRA.”
In a comment on the letter, SAG-AFTRA said only, “Thank you.”
