Trump resigns from SAG

Washington: Former president Donald Trump yesterday resigned his membership in the American actors union before it met to decide whether to expel the former TV reality star from its ranks.

SAGAFTRA, which represents some 160,000 actors, journalists and other media professionals, said last month its disciplinary committee would meet to decide on action regarding Trump’s role in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol that left five people dead.

‘‘Who cares!’’ Trump wrote in a letter that the union released. ‘‘I no longer wish to be associated with your union.’’

‘‘Thank you,’’ the guild responded in a twoword statement.
