"Trump's in Mexico? Quick, let's build that wall NOW so he can't get back in! I've got a lot of free time right now, who's with me?" tweeted Larry Wilmore.

Donald Trump's controversial trip to Mexico to meet with President Enrique Pena Nieto was met with a mixture of bemusement, mockery and anger in Hollywood.

During Wednesday's visit, Trump defended the right of the U.S. to build a massive border wall between Mexico and the U.S., the core of his immigration plan. The GOP presidential candidate said he and Nieto did not, however, discuss who would pay for the wall, which is estimated to cost tens of billions of dollars.

According to the Associated Press, Pena Nieto said Mexicans felt "aggrieved" and were angry that Trump did not apologize or back down from his plan to build a border wall. After Trump and Pena Nieto's meeting, the Mexican president clarified the outcome, tweeting, "At the start of the conversation with Donald Trump, I made it clear that Mexico will not pay for the wall."

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox told CNN that Trump "is using Mexico, using President Pena Nieto to boost his sinking poll numbers."

Hillary Clinton tweeted, "Trump has been perfectly clear about his intentions for millions of immigrants," along with a statement from the Hillary for America chair John Podesta.

Judd Apatow and Larry Wilmore were among several Hollywood figures that tweeted about the Mexico visit, which became a trending topic with the hashtag #TrumpEnMexico. Wilmore tweeted "Trump's in Mexico? Quick, let's build that wall NOW so he can't get back in! I've got a lot of free time right now, who's with me?"
