6. he does not like these trade agreements, but is trying to salvage something

That's perfectly understandable.

Just don't pretend he's jumping for joy that more pseudo free-trade agreements are being pushed, when he would obviously prefer agreements that actually protect jobs.

I would also ote a critical paragraph from the article you posted:

"While we the undersigned may have differing views on elements of the trade agenda – with some of us looking forward to supporting the pending trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia, and Panama, and others skeptical of the impact of the agreements –we are unified in our belief that the first order of business, before we should consider any FTA, is securing a long-term TAA extension."
