I can guarantee he'll be fake ass hell, do anything to win them over, and then go to his next American convention and be like "I demanded they build the wall and pay for it, and they agreed!!" and his supporters will eat it up.
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto says the Mexican people have been hurt by Donald Trump’s past comments that painted them in a negative light.
Peña Nieto told reporters following a closed-door meeting that “misinterpretation or assertions” had negatively impacted perceptions of Trump’s candidacy.
He added that, the “Mexican people have been hurt by the comments that had been made.” But he said he’s sure that Trump is genuinely interested in building a relationship that will benefit both countries.
Peña Nieto spoke in Spanish throughout.

After meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, Republican nominee Donald Trump says that both countries must respect the others’ right to build a border wall on their soil to stop the movement of people, illegal drugs and weapons.
Trump says he and PeñaNieto discussed his call for a border wall during their meeting, but did not talk about Trump’s insistence that Mexico pay for it. He says, “that’ll be for a later date.”
Trump says that having a secure border is a sovereign right and mutually beneficial. Mexicans have been outraged by the proposal.
