Donald Trump's Mexico Visit Slammed by Hollywood
8:17 PM PDT 8/31/2016 by Arlene Washington

"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."
Al inicio de la conversación con Donald Trump dejé claro que México no pagará por el muro.

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?"

Trump didn't tell Mexico they were paying for the wall. Is this the type of tough negotiator he is? He didn't want to be told to fuck off.

Many mistakes are made by all politicians. Trump is a dangerous sociopath. He doesn't mean most anything he says. https://t.co/nRXnqGFGh7

Mexico is the first country to tell Trump to fuck off. Next-- the rest of the Earth.

What a surprise! The pathological liar lied. Said the wall was not discussed. Pena Nieto said it was and he wouldn't pay for it. Go Liar!!

Dear Presidente Nieto,
You can tell Donald Trump, "Mexico IS sending their best. Just look at Rob Schneider's wife!" pic.twitter.com/iC0JBQl9qp— Rob Schneider (@RobSchneider) August 31, 2016
The REAL deal is Mexico did NOT benefit from NAFTA! It only INCREASED POVERTY on both sides of the border.@realDonaldTrump @HillaryClinton

Trump saying, "We didn't discuss who pays for the wall" is like McDonald's saying, "We don't know if we make hamburgers."

U.S.President Donald Trump? Is this a joke, a nightmare, a catastrrophic suggestion, a national dissgrace, a conjecture or all of the above?

My Spanish isn't great, but my rough translation of this is "Hell no. We aren't paying for Trump's wall." https://t.co/RbqRjJFzio

"Mexico is not our friend. Believe me." ~Trump
I believe that he believes this. His little trip changes nothing. #DemagogueChronicles
