The former president has decided to quit the guild after news that he would face disciplinary hearings and possible expulsion for his role in the U.S. Capitol siege. Trump's letter attacked SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris in a manner similar to his fiery tweets. “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?'”, Trump wrote, referring to the recent class-action lawsuit filed by 10 SAG-AFTRA members in response to changes to the guild’s health plan made last August. In response to Trump’s letter, Carteris and National Executive Director David White released a two word statement: “Thank you.”
