It was bad before Trump got us out of it. Then it became good and Trump was a fool for discarding such a useful tool. Trump's gone so where are we now? Back to bad?
TPP had in it a court that was set up and controlled strictly by multinational corporations. It had the authority to overrule national government decisions.
There are always winners and losers in trade agreements. American workers have been the losers, for over two decades. Why should US workers accept ever more precarious finances, even as average income rises? And how realistic is the "post-National Utopia" goal of TPP, when the world is lucky if it can even keep Nations from falling apart politically?
This does not make the TPP "good"

I personally think China joining would be hilarious if only for the first time enforcement is attempted.
