"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 Im not familiar with your work, Im 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 Apprenticeto 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 mebesides collecting dues and promoting dangerous un-American policies and ideasas evident by your massive unemployment rates and lawsuits from celebrated actors, who even recorded a video asking, Why isnt 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."
