TRUMP NO LONGER A UNION MAN

Donald Trump not only lost the White House, he also lost his place in the actors’ union.

SAG-AFTRA’s board decided the former President would face expulsion proceedings for allegedly violating its rules and regulations.

But Trump quit without waiting for the verdict, sending a blistering resignation letter in which he called the disciplinary proceedings “a blatant attempt at free media attention to distract from your dismal record as a union.”

Trump had a pension with the union and collected residuals from his appearances in Home Alone 2, The Apprentice and other projects.

But following his attacks on the media and then the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, SAG-AFTRA chief Gabrielle Carteris initiated firm action.

She said, “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.”

The world’s top three action stars all have statues erected in their honor which have become popular tourist attractions.

Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme are each immortalized in bronze around the world.

Stallone’s statue, which was originally a prop for Rocky III, is at the base of the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps which his title character memorably runs up in the Rocky films.

Schwarzenegger’s likeness can be found flexing in front of his childhood home in Thal, Austria, which has been converted into a museum celebrating the star’s life.

Van Damme’s life-size statue is not at a museum but outside a popular shopping mall in his home town of Brussels, Belgium. Normally, celebrities have to wait until after they are dead to get a statue. But this trio of larger than life megastars have muscled tradition out of the way their whole lives.
