In wake of the former President’s insurrection, SAG-AFTRA’s board of directors voted that Trump should be removed from the union.
The board believes Trump’s unpatriotic display violated the union’s constitution, thus setting the stage for a disciplinary hearing that could have resulted in the revocation of his membership.
However, the 74-year-old has now announced he is resigning from Hollywood’s labour union.
On Wednesday, Trump sent a letter of resignation to SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris, according to TMZ .
In the letter, the former host of *The Apprentice* wrote: “I no longer wish to be associated with your union … You have done nothing for me.”
“I write to you today regarding the so-called Disciplinary Committee hearing aimed at revoking my membership. Who cares!”
He continued: “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 — just to name a few!”
“I no longer wish to be associated with your union,” he added.
“As such, this letter is to inform you of my immediate resignation from SAG-AFTRA. You have done nothing for me.”
TMZ reports that SAG-AFTRA responded to Trump’s resignation letter with a two-word statement, “Thank you.”
