Australia has already signaled that they intend to move forward on a new version of TPP without us and that China may be invited in this time.

This is the usual tactic of proponents of free trade(any free trade) to take advantage of the Chinese boggeyman that is popular now in the USA.
There is no absolutely no reason to believe that a free trade agreement with the Chinese makes it any less likely for a country to make a free trade agreement with the USA. So the above points are ridiculous.

Unions are going to love Trump when he brings back jobs. They have historically leaned left for workers rights but jobs trump all other policies.

Yeah, screw China and Australia. If you are an American business that hires no American, ********* too.

For far too long, Americans have been told lies after lies how trade agreements will help them. Well, it helps companies so much that they all offshore jobs and left American workers jobless and broke.

If those countries want a showdown, give them one.

China was never part of the TPP. It remains to be seen how trade relations with China will work out for the remnants of the TPP and for the US.

Correct, there will be more white collar non-union jobs for developers and engineers to setup and maintain the robots.
