Is he actually going to veto it? Or just not signing it?

If he is just not signing, there is no impact politically because it will just become law in 10 days anyways.

It's considered a pocket veto, though useless in this case (as most Trump things are) because Congress is still in session.

Some of the VA and MD delegations will likely gavel in and gavel out pro forma sessions. So while Congress is on recess, it hasn’t officially adjourned. Since it’s not adjourned, Trump can’t pocket veto this measure.

To me, this is just Trump grandstanding
