I can't copy the text here, just have the image. The signing statement still hasn't shown up on the WH site.
Notice the last paragraph of the statement, Trump boasting that because he "built a truly great company worth many billions of dollars" he "can make far better deals with foreign countries than Congress."
I doubt any other presidential signing statements, from any ol his predecessors, included such silly boasting.

Editing to add that the WH has now issued TWO statements on the signing of the bill and Trump's disagreements with it. See this thread for the full text of both:

Anyone who supports him should be treated like a virus, in person like in line at the grocery store.
Until we confront them, peacefully, that their support is going to kill all of us, until we can do that, dont expect them to budge.
