Jon Stewart is no stranger to satire. In fact, it's kind of his thing.

His latest bit parodies former President Donald Trump's recent letter to SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris, in which he churlishly resigned from the guild.

Trump's letter came amid disciplinary proceedings within the guild that could have resulted in Trump's expulsion from the union.

After news of Trump's letter started to spread, Stewart released his own grumpy mock resignation from the union via Twitter—Trump's former favorite platform, which he is still banned from using.

He even signed the tweet "President Jon Stewart."

People loved Stewart's tweet.

The satire abounded in the comments.

While it is not likely a surprise that Trump chose to quit before the union could expel him, the level of childishness exhibited by his resignation letter was evidently a surprise to some.

Stewart was far from the only person dragging the letter on Twitter.

While Trump has largely been deplatformed online—after being banned from several social media services—he still managed to get his name out there by being extra mockable.

Glenn Close Offers Dire Warning To Trump Over His Regime's 'Inhumanity' In Powerful Video

Film legend Glenn Close shared her feelings on President Donald Trump and his regime's "inhumanity" in a viral video on Instagram, saying she felt "compelled" to speak out in the wake of the murder of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE agents on Saturday in Minneapolis.

Close—best known for starring in such classics as Fatal Attraction and who recently received raves for her work on Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery—condemned the "cold-blooded murder of American citizens" and warned Trump that "there will be hell to pay" as more and more people rise up against his leadership.

Gavin Newsom Epically Rips JD Vance And MAGA Senator Over Their Hot Takes On Minneapolis Shootings

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized Vice President JD Vance and Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton after they both posted heartless remarks about the recent killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Earlier this month, ICE agent Jonathan Ross killed Good in her car. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claimed Good “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them.”

AOC Goes Nuclear On Kristi Noem For Suggesting That Protesters Who Show Up With Firearms Deserve To Die

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's hypocrisy after Noem responded to the murder of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis by claiming that protesters who show up with firearms aren't "peaceful."

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—whom authorities said was permitted to carry but was not handling—before fatally shooting him.
