First he gets his dig into Congress about not passing Repeal ACA, then goes on about what a great negotiator he is. Problem is, as we know, Trump just parroted some Republican lines during the Senate "debate". Very little work from Trump but complaining. What a piss ant!
Trump Is So Psycho That He Is Using Presidential Signing Statements To Brag About His Wealth

Donald Trump used a presidential signing statement on the Russia sanctions legislation to whine at Congress for not repealing Obamacare and to brag about his personal wealth.
..........................................
Here is the closer of Trumps signing statement which he attached to the Russia sanctions bill that he signed:
Still, the bill remains seriously flawed particularly because it encroaches on the executive branchs authority to negotiate. Congress could not even negotiate a healthcare bill after seven years of talking. By limiting the Executives flexibility, this bill makes it harder for the United States to strike good deals for the American people, and will drive China, Russia, and North Korea much closer together. The Framers of our Constitution put foreign affairs in the hands of the President. This bill will prove the wisdom of that choice.
.........................................
I built a truly great company worth many billions of dollars. That is a big part of the reason I was elected. As President, I can make far better deals with foreign countries than Congress.
Republicans are going to admit at some point that Trump is not well. Only a crazy person would brag about their wealth in a presidential signing statement. Trump thinks that he won the election because he is rich when the real reason why Trump won is the same Russia scandal that is causing his nearly daily mental meltdowns.........................

(36,893 posts)Shortly after signing a bill imposing new sanctions on Russia on Wednesday, President Trump released an accompanying signing statement outlining his concerns.
In his statement, he calls the bill "significantly flawed" and raises concerns that it will hinder his ability to negotiate with foreign countries.
In a separate press release, Trump lashed out at Congress in more colloquial terms than in the formal signing statement.
Read the formal signing statement below, followed by the press release.

(24,259 posts)stop posting until I get more than 3 hours of sleep (damn nightmares). Obviously it's effecting my observation skills.
I googled looking for his signing statement on Russia sanctions, that was the top gov site that came up for me, it said "Statement by President Donald J. Trump on Signing the Countering Americas Adversaries Through Sanctions Act and I like an idiot 'assumed' I was in the right place. It doesn't negate that he said what he did tooting his own horn but at least it's not quite as bad as it would be if included in a signing statement. (I still don't think he worded that at all either. lol )

(36,893 posts)You are far from an idiot... that is a logical conclusion on you're part (the White House website is at fault for not making it clear... quelle surprise!). What a man-child, right?!
I hope that you will find a night of peaceful sleep. Easier said than done in these times, to be sure.

(24,259 posts)Made me feel better and I very much appreciate it.
I was having some issues with sleep and nightmares before Trump thanks to stress and age, needless to say having this lying whiney meanspirited idiot being president has NOT helped at all.

We aren't looking for you to make a deal with your boss. We know that would not be in our best interests. Now execute that sanctions you piece of shit. Do your job.

His mental state and his disregard for fact is not an issue for the GOP, or for some of their voters. The only concern for McConnell and Ryan is whether or not Trump will sign what they send him.

(9,130 posts)Do the math on that. Donald Trump is worth less than his father's property portfolio. He is only still in business because of bailouts up to $1.8 billion a time, without putting his hand in his own pocket, bullying and bribing others to get his way, screwing over thousands of people and borrowing money from Russia. There is no evidence Trump is a good businessman.
