Is it possible they will bring the TPP up for vote right after a stock market crash?

Here’s my theory about what could possibly happen in the future to get the TPP passed. Imagine a stock market crash coming along (engineered or half-engineered or just natural) and after it’s crashed a bit, in the ensuing panic, they say “we need new trade and banking regulations to help save the day, we need this now to stem the bleeding!” and this will be the TPP. It will be passed in 3 days, 1 in the House, 1 in the Senate, and 1 in the Executive office, like the PATRIOT act.
Then the stock market will recover (they will make sure it recovers) and then the TPP will be law, and half of people will be bewildered in to thinking it’s a good thing because it made the stock market go up. Then the actual effects will set in during the following decades.
It’s just a thought, it’s one possibility of many so I doubt it will happen. But they are looking for an excuse to push the TPP through, and a dramatic catastrophic economic failure would give them grounds to convince the public of the necessity of the TPP. And the companies trying to pass the TPP are the same ones who basically control the stock market, the biggest banks and companies. And pairing the TPP with a good event like the stock market going up would convince a lot of people that it’s a good thing due to the emotional pairing, like Pavlov’s Dog and the bell. It makes a lot of sense to me.
How plausible does my theory seem to you? What do you think?
