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. Trump became eligible for a pension through the union in 1992, the same year he had a cameo in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. He also received an $8,724 annual pension from the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, which he likewise became a member of in 1989.
