Trump got a $78k pension from the Screen Actors Guild in 2025 because he appeared in Home Alone 2 in 1992

President Donald Trump long ago left the Screen Actors Guild—which he joined in 1989 following his debut in the supernatural romcom Ghosts Can’t Do It—but he continues to receive a five-figure pension from the union, years after his departure. The president’s mandatory financial disclosure for 2025 reveals he received $77,808 in pension funds last year, or about $6,484 monthly, from SAG.

That total includes $1.4 billion from his family’s cryptocurrency ventures. White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly told Fortune in a statement that neither Trump nor his family has or even will engage in conflicts of interest. Trump continues to receive SAG-AFTRA payments despite not being a member for five years. The president resigned from the union in 2021, following threats from SAG-AFTRA to expel him for his involvement in the January 6 Capitol insurrection. Losing union membership does not prohibit anyone from performing, and under federal labor laws, vested members of the union are guaranteed retirement benefits, including a pension. Weeks after the riot, SAG-AFTRA voted “overwhelmingly” that there was probable cause Trump had violated the union’s membership terms through his role on January 6, which the union called “a r
