Trans-Pacific Partnership is trully is a load for a variety of reasons including intellectual property regulation, net globalization effects and that free trade has never been "free", just like a "free market".

Three Fake Myths–and Two Actual Ones–About TPP Trade Pact
The first “myth” is that trade agreements have hurt US manufacturing workers and thereby the labor market more generally. Altman and Haas cite work by MIT economist David Autor showing that trade with China has reduced manufacturing employment by 21 percent, but then assert that the problem is trade not trade agreements.
They tell us that
the United States does not have a bilateral trade deal with China...
The second “myth” is that
the TPP would degrade labor and environmental standards and raise drug costs…. As for the environment, there is nothing new in the TPP that would affect existing dispute-resolution mechanisms. Finally, it is far from certain that new protections for drug companies would lead to higher drug costs.
Then we get the third “myth”:
that the TPP is flawed because it won’t prevent countries from competing unfairly by devaluing their currencies to stimulate exports.
