Can the people who are downvoting this comment please explain why?

I didn't downvote it, but the reason I don't see it as worth responding to is the bundled assumptions and simplistic analysis.

According to the comment, everything has to be about Trump vs. Clinton; it couldn't possibly be that the IP provisions changed substantially for the better, or any number of other aspects of a complicated agreement.

It is also possible to be against something and have an opinion on how the situation was handled. That some of the IP restrictions were removed shows there was room for negotiation rather than just walking away in a huff.
