Except that the TPP isn't mostly about trade.

What is most objectionable are the 2/3+ of the agreement that is about things like corporations suing states, extensions of excessive copyright and patent laws, etc.

The other problem is that the American worker took it in the shorts after NAFTA. A bunch of jobs suddenly moved to Mexico, and then to Asia.

The United States would have benefited more from automating those jobs rather than just having them leave. Had NAFTA not gone into effect, companies would have had to do more automation.
