Just like he claims that he wasn't fired as president, Trump has quit the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) just before being expelled by that organization.
The president's resignation comes after the Screen Actors Guild board voted "overwhelmingly" that Trump violated the union's membership guidelines in the wake of the Capitol riot.
"Donald Trump attacked the values that this union holds most sacred – democracy, truth, respect for our fellow Americans of all races and faiths, and the sanctity of the free press," Carteris said last month. "There’s a straight line from his wanton disregard for the truth to the attacks on journalists perpetrated by his followers."
"Our most important role as a union is the protection of our members. The unfortunate truth is, this individual’s words and actions over the past four years have presented actual harm to our broadcast journalist members," said SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director David White. "The board’s resolution addresses this effort to undermine freedom of the press and reaffirms the principles on which our democratic society rests, and which we must all work to protect and preserve."
As we most things Trump does, his departure from SAG was done in the most classless and clueless possible way.
..."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.
Without me, you're nothing. How can we get by without Trump?
