Why does he want to shit on it by supporting TPP?

Even Hilary says that is a bad idea..

Clinton announced last week that she no longer supports the international trade deal, despite supporting it while serving as secretary of state -- once calling it the "gold standard." CNN anchor and debate moderator Anderson Cooper picked up on those words and asked Clinton about her reversal at the Oct. 13 debate in Las Vegas.

What Hillary Clinton really said about TPP and the 'gold standard'

That's bad.. Although I don't think it's genuine

The labor unions are against this as well, that is why Hilary came out against it, she needed the union money for her campaign.

Currently, many of the country’s largest unions oppose the TPP. On October 5, 2015, the day the member nations finalized the agreement in Atlanta, the presidents of five of the most powerful unions – the Teamsters (IBT), United Steelworkers (USW), Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), Machinists (IAM), and Communication Workers (CWA) – issued statements declaring their opposition to the trade deal.

So, why is organized labor against the TPP?

Jobs and Trade Adjustment Assistance
One reason is the prospect of further deindustrialization and the continued outsourcing of American manufacturing and service jobs to low-wage countries like Vietnam, where the minimum wage is 28 cents per hour.

Since the TPP includes 12 countries whose collective GDP amounts to 40 percent of the world’s total economy activity, unions fear that passing the TPP will accelerate a “race to the bottom” in terms of the wages of American workers, who will be competing against comparatively cheaper labor.

To justify their opposition, union leaders point to the economic effects of free trade agreements implemented within the last several decades. According to the Economic Policy Institute, trade liberalization has coincided with the loss of millions of jobs in the United States since the 1990s. It estimates that between 1993 and 2013, NAFTA led to a net loss of 850,000 American jobs.

It is for these economic reasons that labor unions, led by the largest union federation in the country, the AFL-CIO, visited Capitol Hill in March 2015 to persuade lawmakers to oppose trade promotion authority (TPA) for the TPP.

In addition to concerns about the fate of millions of American jobs, domestic labor unions are also concerned about the rights of workers in other TPP member countries.

Singling out people based on religion is against the first amendment.
