Its bigger than just the signing - President Trump has declared a national emergency
Letter to Congress:
I hereby report that I have issued the enclosed Executive Order (the “order”) declaring a national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States posed by serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/text-letter-president-congress-united-states-6/
Executive Order:
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States, such as those committed or directed by persons listed in the Annex to this order, have reached such scope and gravity that they threaten the stability of international political and economic systems

TRUMP is actually one of the greatest abusers of human rights --
as someone about as racist, sexist, and homophobic as one can get ...
And for the damage being done to American citizens with tax cuts for Elites and
their corporations at the expense of the poorest and neediest citizens here.
Attacks on Medicare and Social Security are also planned by Paul ...
Social Security costs the US government NOTHING ...
In fact, the Social Security Trust Fund PAYS the government to administer the program.
There is NO reason whatsoever for Social Security to be included in the General Budget
-- it has been put there to hide the insane costs of our MIC which Trump continues to expand.
There has been a campaign against Social Security being run by the right wing -- out of
the Wall Street Journal -- for more than 30-40 years now as a "Ponzi Scheme" which is a lie.
Social Security was NEVER intended to run a Surplus -- it was a "pay as you go" system only
raising sufficient funds each year/month to pay citizens who were already retired.
Since then the SURPLUS -- hundreds of billions of dollars every year raised needlessly
from citizens -- has be "borrowed" by our government to pay for its wars and tax cuts
for the rich.
