FULL TEXT OF SIGNING STATEMENT (Zeke Miller tweet, image of statement)

Link to tweet

I can't copy the text here, just have the image. The signing statement still hasn't shown up on the WH site.

Notice the last paragraph of the statement, Trump boasting that because he "built a truly great company worth many billions of dollars" he "can make far better deals with foreign countries than Congress."

I doubt any other presidential signing statements, from any ol his predecessors, included such silly boasting.

_______

Editing to add that the WH has now issued TWO statements on the signing of the bill and Trump's disagreements with it. See this thread for the full text of both:

This man is a disgrace to humanity not just the United States...there has never been a more pathetic figure in such a position of power...it's like having a toddler in charge of dinner and being forced to clean up the ensuing mess on a daily...nay hourly basis...

My fucking head hurts and it is not even 11 AM here....

We really need to have the popular media calling this out, and bringing attention to it, because it colors so many things out of this administration.

Each and every person who supports him is actively engaging in ending life on planet earth.

Anyone who supports him should be treated like a virus, in person like in line at the grocery store.

Until we confront them, peacefully, that their support is going to kill all of us, until we can do that, dont expect them to budge.
