Donald Trump resigned from SAG-AFTRA and lashed out the performers’ union after it revealed plans last month to expel him. “Who cares!” Trump said in his letter, released Thursday, to what he described as the “so-called” union. Advertisement“I no longer wish to be associated with your union,” Trump wrote. In his letter, Trump criticized the union, which represents some 160,000 performers, actors and broadcast journalists, for both policy violations and what he described as “egregious” disciplinary failures without detailing them. Last month the national board of SAG-AFTRA voted to find “probable cause” that Trump violated its constitution, a step that could have led to his removal from its membership.
