NEW YORK (AP) — After leaving the White House, President Donald Trump may lose his SAG card, too. The Screen Actors Guild said Tuesday that the SAG-AFTRA board voted “overwhelmingly” that there is probable cause that Trump violated its guidelines for membership. The charges, the guild said, are for Trump’s role in the Capitol riot on January 6, “and in sustaining a reckless campaign of misinformation aimed at discrediting and ultimately threatening the safety of journalists, many of whom are SAG-AFTRA members.”

If found guilty by a disciplinary committee, Trump faces expulsion.Trump has been a SAG member since 1989. His credits include “The Apprentice,” “Saturday Night Live” and many cameos in films and TV series including “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York,” “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “Sex in and City.”The SAG board acted in response to a request from Gabrielle Carteris, the guild’s president.

“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,” said Carteris in a statement. “There’s a straight line from his wanton disregard for the truth to the attacks on journalists perpetrated by his followers.”A White House spokesman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

Losing SAG membership doesn’t disqualify anyone from performing. But most major productions abide by union contracts and hire only union actors.Online petitions have recently circulated to have Trump removed from some films. One is trying to rally support to have President-elect Joe Biden digitally substituted for Trump in “Home Alone

6. Use the space to plant a "Corpse Flower." People will gather to witness it in horrified amazement.

Odor
As the spathe gradually opens, the spadix releases powerful odors to attract pollinators, insects which feed on dead animals or lay their eggs in rotting meat. The potency of the odor gradually increases from late evening until the middle of the night, when carrion beetles and flesh flies are active as pollinators, then tapers off towards morning.[21] Analyses of chemicals released by the spadix show the stench includes dimethyl trisulfide (like limburger cheese), dimethyl disulfide, trimethylamine (rotting fish), isovaleric acid (sweaty socks), benzyl alcohol (sweet floral scent), phenol (like Chloraseptic), and indole (like feces).

3. I Support This

Every actor except losers like James Woods and Chaichi support this. If we could expel them, too, we’d do it. Don’t fuck with unions.

On edit: he crossed a picket line to film the Apprentice.

5. Trump said you will have to pry

his Blockbuster Video card from his slimy little hands.

7. And get rid of that Hollywood sidewalk star FOREVER

don't replace it. Chip it out of sidewalk and dump it in the Mariana Trench to never be seen again.

8. I think people have been defacing it and chopping it up for the past 4 years

9. Take away every entry into society he has.

Make him a pariah!

10. I applaud this but it is a symbolic move. He'll still be able to appear. The production company

will be fined, and put the cost into the budget.

It would be good if Mark Burnett - May his name be cursed - lost his PGA(Producers Guild of America) card as well. But that will never happen.

11. I'd rather tell wingers that he belongs to a labor union.

Just like Reagan did.
