Thanks for the reply, someone had pointed out out a few posts so but I still have the general question.

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

That is the definition of line item veto, so no. There have been periodic attempts under various Presidents including Reagan, but this was ruled unconstitutional during the Clinton administration.
