Im curious. How will Trump and his cabinet

explain his signing the sanctions to his base? Trumps base was very adamant about him protecting Russia.Remember, Trump said Obama was weak on Russia. I guess people can say about him now. I smell a rally. The Freepers are not even talking about this.

Because if he doesn't he looks worse to Mueller? Or, he will append a signing statement to it. Solly Mack Jul 2017 #2

Trump has used XO's and now he will use signing statements (given the chance - need an actual bill to sign) and I think he will.

I can't imagine that he does. And without Priebus there to tell him who would? Wasn't Priebus the only one in his administration with prior government service? (I'm not counting those the likes of Rick Perry because, you know, brains.)

I guess we'll find out soon enough.

He liked XO's because he made the call and he'll enjoy SS because he gets to have a final say, so to speak. Much like he'd like the veto. All 3 would appeal to his must be the one in charge thinking.

His staff would push all 3 as a means of flattering him with the power he has now.

Hannity will double talk the situation and the drumpf followers will shrug and move on.
