where is all the 'FANFARE' on trump signing of the russian sanctions bill???

no cameras.

no congressmen standing around him.

no cheering.

this was a BIPARTISAN bill in congress. the 'president' should be cheering it.

this only brings more questions to the table on trump's russian love...

collusion.

Which Presidents have used to interpret and sometimes even change the laws, but the legal validity of signing statements is questionable.

On edit: I read the signing statement. It criticizes the law, but does not offer any interpretation so it really does nothing. Once Trump's bark is much bigger than his bite.

He has never succeeded, and is propped up by russian blood money.

How anyone at this point stays in his hotel is sad.

Golf courses almost cant fail so with russian money he has golf courses, his hotels will all fail soon I assume given he is the most hated man on the planet.

grammatically incorrect.

So he told someone "what" he wanted to convey, and they wrote it for him.

(had to make sure I did not misspell misspellings)
