Donald Trump said he will meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto Wednesday before he unveils his immigration plan in Arizona later in the day.
I have accepted the invitation of President Enrique Pena Nieto, of Mexico, and look very much forward to meeting him tomorrow.

In a tweet, the office of the Mexican president confirmed the meeting. Trump’s visit to Mexico comes after an entire campaign in which Trump has repeatedly said he plans to build a border wall with Mexico and make Mexico pay for it.
According to the Washington Post, Peña Nieto invited Trump to meet with him last Friday.
It is unclear if Trump still supports building a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border – a cornerstone of his primary campaign that helped him to handedly win the Republican primary. Trump’s visit with the Mexican president comes after a long year of negative press about his tone deaf attempts and lack of outreach to the Latino community. In addition to the border wall, Trump has spoken negatively about Mexican immigrants, pandered to Latinos with a taco salad tweet on Cinco De Mayo and attacked a federal judge’s “Mexican” heritage.
Mexico has already said no meetings have been confirmed and the invitation was extended to both candidates no just Trump, He is using this as promotion stunt claiming he was making a quick trip to Mexico in between his Arizona and California trip. Ain;t gonna happen folks
Okay. That’s the final straw for me. This entire election is silly. I’m driving Mrs. Von Holst crazy; I’m pissed off at half of my fellow citizens, and I’m getting distracted beyond bounds. I’m out for a while, maybe till after the election. May God help us all. Trump is playing us and the media like a cheap tuba. Enjoy.

If it is for real perhaps the Secret Service will be extended an offer to dine on some great authentic Mexican food and tRump will be met by local drug lords instead of the president.
I cannot imagine that President Enrique Peña Nieto has anything to gain by meeting with this buffoon unless he plans to secretly tape the meeting and release it after tRump starts telling his N00bs how he got him to agree to pay for the wall.

if nada else it’s an opportunity for tRump to bill his campaign extra for the use of his aeroplane. At a five hundred percent markup.
