Trump quits SAG Screen Actors Guild union. Includes fun letter.

"I write to you today regarding the so-called Disciplinary Committee hearing aimed at revoking my union membership. Who cares!" Mr Trump wrote in the letter. "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 Lives, and of course, one of the most successful shows in television history, The Apprentice—to name just a few!"

"Which brings me to your blatant attempt at free media attention to distract from your dismal record as a union," Mr 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—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?’"

In a "you can't fire me, I quit" moment, Mr Trump - who the union was going to expel - said "I no longer wish to be associated with your union" and that "You have done nothing for me."

Now, can we finally get rid of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? It's so tiresome having to deface it on an annual basis (no, I never did, before you ask.)
