How TPP impact on VietNam in some days later, may be farewell to TPP.
We study alot about how difficults when VietNam has free union in TPP, but, Trump won, and TPP with VietNam may be no chance. 
So I wonder what will going on next, I would like to receive your comment about how TPP impact on VietNam with Trump.
Mrs. Helena Worthen sai that: "In the meantime, “congratulations” on a new president is not exactly right….”condolences” is better. How will this affect TPP? We don’t know yet. Trump campaigned on the basis of being anti-TPP, but he tells lies all the time and changes his mind whenever the wind blows from a different direction. TPP is good for big business  in the US — it is good for corporations. It is good for corporations because it encourages work to get sent out to low-wage countries, but more important is the way it allows corporations to sue governments to recover “lost profits.”  Seriously, this means that if the US decides that because of climate change it is a bad idea to have a big oil pipeline running through our territory, the company that owns that pipleline can sue the government for loss of future profits. That makes corporations superior in power to governments. This would apply to Viet Nam, too.

But the benefits awarded to corporations is why Hilary and the Democratic machine supported TPP. Bernie Sanders, who is sincerely trying tho fight against increasing inequality and make human beings as important as corporations, was against TPP because of this. He and his supporters were able to persuade Clinton to back off from TPP but they were not sincere and did it only because they were under pressure.

But Trump, who is completely pro-corporate and was probably lying the whole time he was courting working-class voters, may just turn around and go for TPP."
Turn back to VietNamese, I am hearing a lots about TPP, but today is very soon to know clearly what will going on next, but there is one thing I know that VietNamese people want TPP will complete because TPP is all about being a “corporate giveaway” that will send US jobs to low-wage countries and will allow corporations to sue countries...
(A small talk with Mrs.Helena Worthen)
I will come back soon...
How about you, what do you think about what will TPP going on next?

Ho Chi Minh, 11pm, 19/11/2016 I was really surprised when I checked e-mail this morning, actually it was a shock to me. I have just thought that the TPP really good for many country, specially is VietNam, but, the more I learn, the more I'll see these difficulties as well as the advantages about TPP. For example: Here is just a mall things I know from Tim Canova, He said that: If passed, the TPP would outsource millions of our service jobs, raised prescription drug prices. endangered the open internet, and undermined our food safety, health and environmental protections. Long before I took on Wasserman Schultz, I was a law professor speaking out against the corporate trade agenda – the so-called Washington-Wall Street Consensus that gave us NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement), permanent normal trade relations with the People’s Republic of China and other repressive regimes, and now the TPP.  In the next week, Progress For All will be sponsoring a major public forum
