Thank you kindly for the reply. I more or less got my terms mixed up as I knew the selective editing of Bills still occurs.

That being said.. Can Trump simply sign it but attach a signing statement striking down the undesirable parts?

No line item veto.

No. Signing statements don't strike sections, they say "will be interpreted ..." and then any deviation is generally stealthy.
