US-EU trade is not the issue, it is already huge and it will grow without TTIP. Read what the TTIP is actually about. Implying that being against TTIP, virulently or not, is equivalent or even comparable to being nationalist or mercantilist is beyond the pale. No word games necessary, just read before you talk.

PS: And btw, why would anyone have an interest in making the US more like the EU? Who cares about what the US does to itself? I just don't want the US meddling and diluting laws and ways of life here.
