TPP is a tool to put companies above the laws so the companies can sue governments. Pepper in trade agreements to cut out Russia and China. It would also do a bunch of horrible things for jobs, like move them to third world countries with little repercussions, if any. Plus so much more. It is a horrible mess of a bill 8 years in the making.

Nafta is USA, mexico, and Canada. TPP was up to 12 countries. Nafta didn't install secret courts.
