Trump Signing Russian Sanctions Bill Greeted with Praise and Skepticism: ‘Doesn’t Seem Too Pleased’

President Trump has finally signed Russian sanctions legislation into law. Republicans commended the President while Democrats were more skeptical: Happy pres signed sanctions bill. Putan wants to break foundation of democracy. We cannot ignore how he threatens freedom around the world— Rep. Chris Stewart (@RepChrisStewart) August 2, 2017 There are times I'll agree w @realDonaldTrump & times I'll disagree. Today he should be commended for signing #RussiaSanctionsBill— Jeff Flake (@JeffFlake) August 2, 2017 I am pleased @POTUS signed this bipartisan bill that imposes new sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea for their transgressions. https://t.co/Z7KgkSuXkT— Senator Thom Tillis (@SenThomTillis) August 2, 2017 Shouldn't have taken veto-proof action by Congress to ensure @POTUS wouldn't ease sanctions over Russia's interference in our elections.— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) August 2, 2017 .@realDonaldTrump doesn't seem too pleased to sign this bill, wait maybe it's bc this is the Russia sanctions bill.https://t.co/6TfPBJXSdq— Raul M. Grijalva (@RepRaulGrijalva) August 2, 2017 Let's be clear: This is Congress imposing its will on @realDonaldTrump. In America, the legislature is a co-equal branch of government. https://t.co/EPrwRLqR71— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) August 2, 2017 And the rest of Twitter weighed in too: With Trump signing the Russian sanctions bill it's a good time for everyone to remember not to click on any suspicious email links....— Adam Goldman (@adamgoldmanNYT) August 2, 2017 1) Obama should have immediately enacted tough sanctions for Russia's actions. 2) kudos to @realDonaldTrump for signing despite encroachment https://t.co/j2yJBcJNij— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) August 2, 2017 Trump has expressed more concerns about Congress's Russia sanctions bill than about Putin's expulsion of US diplomats.— Ryan Lizza (@RyanLizza) August 2, 2017 Good Lord. This is the last paragraph of Trump's signing statement on Russia sanctions bill. pic.twitter.com/U1pgayKFAU— Jason Leopold (@JasonLeopold) August 2, 2017 Trump signing the Russian sanctions bill pic.twitter.com/b1BZRnXSNH— Jonathan Chait (@jonathanchait) August 2, 2017 President @realDonaldTrump signed the Russia sanctions bill. Why would he do this if colluding with Russia? Lol— Madison Gesiotto (@madisongesiotto) August 2, 2017 … And now I will sign into law this legislation that includes “a number of clearly unconstitutional provisions." https://t.co/UQuQgzVTFg— Niraj Chokshi (@NirajC) August 2, 2017 Trump signs, then says he may not obey, congressional sanctions bill on Russia. Putin is smiling. https://t.co/u5NcUVXDTN— John Aravosis (@aravosis) August 2, 2017 PUTIN'S PUPPETPEE-PEE KOMPROMATMANCHURIAN CANDIDATETREASON SEALED INDICTMENTYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGH!!!! https://t.co/5WQz8lwskF— Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) August 2, 2017 Hey, @realDonaldTrump, I wanna see you holding up that Russian sanctions bill!
