Congress aproves Russia santions... Will Trump ?

As I had mentioned on a thread June 28,
https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...l#post21858808

NY Times is reporting that Congress will pass additional sanctions on Russia for the meddling of the US elections in 2016.

Yes, telling times are a com'n....
I believe he will sign it. It would be brutal for himself to veto.
Especially if there are enough votes to over-ride it.
He could veto and say that the sanctions are not tough enough on Iran which is also included in the legislation. ( a likely option )

Unless he really thinks he can pardon himself !

It was the tough sanctions for Crimea imposed by Obama that were targeting the Russian MOB and not the people of Russia that affected Trumps biz with the Russian money laundering. So it just makes this a good entertainment session.

When (not if) Trump falls, the GOP will blame everything on him to save face with the voters as blaming Obama is falling short at this point and Pence is already 'their man'.
The question is, will they be able to delay the final fall-out till after the mid-terms.
I doubt trumps tweets will allow them the time. They may need to save face before the mid-terms.
