Trump rips Congress, brags about deal-making prowess in Russian sanctions statement
By Jonathan Easley - 08/02/17 11:40 AM EDT

President Trump is ripping Congress in an unusual statement criticizing the Russian sanctions bill, which he signed into law on Wednesday.

Trump said in two separate statements that while he favored the policy objectives in the legislation overwhelmingly approved by Congress, he believes the new law encroaches on his power.

Trump also repeatedly writes that he is a better negotiator than Congress, which he notes has been unable to approve ObamaCare repeal.

"I built a truly great company worth many billions of dollars," Trump said in one of the statements. "That is a big part of the reason I was elected. As President, I can make far better deals with foreign countries than Congress."

This is incredible.  Faced with a sanctions bill he hated, and backed by a veto proof majority vote, our President came up with the logical, and reasonable response of signing it.  Mind blown. 

It took 5 days for President Trump to sign one of his more important pieces of legislation.  The sanctions bill is a bipartisan rebuke of Trump's coziness with Putin and a indicator of the Congress's trust in President Trump...now forever enshrined as his legacy

If one is wondering what this is doing in a signing ceremony statement, this is President Trump responding to Congress's rebuke.
