Summary
$77,808 in SAG pension payments went to Donald Trump in 2025, according to his mandatory financial disclosure, even though he resigned from SAG-AFTRA in 2021.
Federal labor law protects benefits for vested members, and Trump had qualified for the pension in 1992 after joining the union in 1989; he also reported an $8,724 AFTRA pension.
The filing showed the union payments were tiny beside more than $2.2 billion in 2025 income, including $1.4 billion from the Trump family's cryptocurrency ventures and residuals under $201 from past screen appearances.
Trump left the union after SAG-AFTRA moved to discipline him over Jan. 6, saying there was probable cause he violated membership terms; his 2024 disclosure had listed $102,408 in SAG-AFTRA pension income.
