Johnson must have graduated from Clown School, at the top of his class with a sillinessius Maximus Degree.

That article is from early June. Old news.
In my opinon, this is an issue where Johnson is letting Weld influence him and the reason, imo, is not that Johnson favors the TPP. Johnson knows he has little chance to win enough electoral votes to become president outright and this is just another stance to make him more appealing to those who decide whether he gets into the debates. Hint: it isn't libertarian voters.

NAFTA was the first one to fool some people. "But we need and ought to have free trade."
Well, yes, but a "free trade" document would not consist of thousands of pages and provisions: It would REPEAL and DELETE obstacles.
Gary Johnson is not firm on this TPP support -- nor, apparently, on much else -- no, that's wrong: He is not firm on ENOUGH else.
Though I swore many years ago I would never settle for an alleged "lesser of two evils," this year, here in California, I will settle for the least of six evils. I will vote for Gary Johnson and Bill Weld, the Libertarian Party ticket.
That's less a vote for them than it is for the Libertarian Party.
And I don't just believe but know that anyone who honestly wants liberty, wants less government, wants lower taxes, wants world peace must join me in supporting the LP.
Not voting makes the statists and collectivists laugh, and otherwise accomplishes nothing.
Voting for anyone else is supporting more government and less freedom.
I hope all rational people will realize what I have said is truth: Voting for the Libertarian Party candidates is one small step for freedom.

this from the guy who claims to be a freedom -loving libertarian candidate who will put a gun to your head if you do not sell cakes to whomever he thinks you should sell to...

This Canada Free Press article on TOO puts it in perspective:

This goes back to the days of Bush jr., who was all for it, but tried to say he wa not. It was a lot of hype about trade, but it was way too much more.

In review of what little can be said about this document, there were only a page or two that was actually about trade...the rest was the UN's (world government), marching orders that were a detriment to all countries nevermind to all of mankind...trouble is that much of the billion useless but coercive pages of this document are not available to everyone and those that had access, swore not to say too much...that aught to be the tip off.

I think that the alternatives (tariffs) are even worse. All we have to do is ensure that everyone is complying with the agreements. Provisions for "slave labor" should always be addressed! Other than that, let's all agree to compete and let the jobs go to where they belong all things being or becoming equal!

TPP, like all of the multinational trade agreements, is a bad idea. Each nation is unique, with different interests, and as the world's biggest economy, it makes more sense to make trading arrangements with each nation tuned accordingly. We can afford to be generous to small, struggling economies, and tough with bigger, competing economies. Our national interest should have priority over any Fantasy globalist visions.

All of the big multinational trade agreements recently enacted or proposed have been the product of big multinational corporate cabals. Smaller companies and the general public need to be party to input for any future trade agreements.

Gee, I think I just described the Trump position.
