Before signing the bill adding sanctions on Russia, Trump privately tried to kill the bill, calling Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn) and telling him that the bill was "bad policy" and "unconstitutional".
It looks like once Trump realized the Senators were not intimidated, he pretended to like the bill by signing it.
Slick.

Politico (8-23-2017): Trump expressed frustration over a bipartisan bill sanctioning Russia and tried to convince Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) that it wasn't good policy, according to three people familiar with the call. Trump argued that the legislation was unconstitutional and said it would damage his presidency. Corker was unrelenting, these people said, and told Trump the bill was going to pass both houses with bipartisan support.
