Donald Trump has confirmed he will head to Mexico to meet with its president on Wednesday.
He tweeted to his 11million followers on Tuesday: 'I have accepted the invitation of President Enrique Pena Nieto, of Mexico, and look very much forward to meeting him tomorrow.'
The meeting would have to be a brief affair - sandwiched between a California fundraiser in the morning and an evening address in Phoenix where he is expected to give a campaign-defining speech on immigration.

Speaking in Everett, Washington, he pledged to renegotiate the 'terrible' Bill Clinton-era NAFTA deal that provides Mexico hundreds of billions of dollars annually from American investment and job outsourcing.
He reiterated his vow to build his famed wall in order to 'stop the drugs from pouring in' from Mexico 'and destroying our country'.
And he bashed 'Hillary Clinton's immigration policy, which brings in illegal immigrants' from Mexico and other Latin American countries.
Those working in the U.S. without permission, he said, 'take jobs from our hard-working African-American and Hispanic citizens'.
He said: 'Two million Hispanic Americans have been added to the ranks of those living in poverty since 2009.'
It suggested a wedge between Hispanic-American citizens and illegal immigrants from the same ethnic background.

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions will accompany Trump, according to a campaign official.
Both Republicans warned up the crowd Tuesday night inside the Xfinity Arena in Everett.
Noticeably missing from the billionaire's stump speech was his familiar shout about "Who's gonna pay for the wall?"
Unlike most of his speeches, Tuesday's did not include the audience screaming "Mexico!" in reply.
But Trump has never before given a speech on the eve of visiting a nation that he rise to prominence by bashing 'con mucho gusto'.

Nieto's office said he invited both Trump and Hillary Clinton to meet with him but The Donald's campaign refused to confirm this at the time, The Washington Post reported.
A campaign source initially told DailyMail.com that no formal plan to travel to Mexico has been sketched out or agreed to.
The Post said Trump would need 'significant protection' should he visit the country, where some citizens have burned effigies of the Republican candidate.
His tough-on-immigration attitude in the early days of his candidacy has been met with anger both in the US and abroad.
Announcing his presidential campaign in June, Trump promised his Republican followers that he would build a 'great, great wall' along the Mexico-US border.

Announcing his presidential campaign in June, Trump accused Mexicans of being 'rapists', saying: 'When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best'

Trump recently reiterated his promise to Republican followers that he would build a 'great, great wall' along the Mexico-US border - and has previously blamed Mexicans for bringing crime to America

He further inflamed tensions with the Latin country by claiming he would 'get Mexico to pay for it'.
In the same speech, he accused Mexicans of being 'rapists', saying: 'When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.
'They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.'
The hard-line Republican has built his entire candidacy on pledges to build the impenetrable wall and to eject millions of illegal immigrants from the country.
In the past two weeks his position has seemed to soften – so much so that other Republicans are questioning whether he is determined to follow through on his promises.

Trump was roundly mocked on social media when he tweeted a picture of himself eating a taco bowl on Twitter in what was perceived as a desperate attempt to win favor with the Mexican electorate

Trump also drew ridicule after several white Republicans were seen holding signs reading 'Latinos para Trump' at the Republican National Convention

Trump says his proposed 1,000-mile border will would be 35-45 feet high (pictured, older sections of the US-Mexico border fence near San Diego)

[h=3]SO HOW DOES TRUMP'S WALL STACK UP? [/h]Trump has drawn comparisons between his plans for a Mexican border wall and those of the Great Wall of China. But how do his proposals actually stack up alongside other barriers?
The Great Wall of Trump: 35-45 feet, as per the presidential hopeful's latest estimates, and 1,000 miles long.
Current U.S./Mexico 'fence': Around 670 miles of fencing, at up to 20 feet high. In the most heavily defended parts there is a steel barrier, a climb-proof fence and 20 feet high concrete posts. Hillary Clinton voted for its construction as the junior senator from New York.
The Great Wall of China: The famous structure is an average of 26 feet tall, but reaches 46 feet at its highest point and is 13,170 miles long. It was built on and off over 2,500 years and is not a continuous barrier. Trump has promised to build his 'so fast it'll make your head spin'.
Israel's Separation Barrier: Built by Israel around the West Bank, it is up to 26 feet high - a mixture of concrete walls and multi-layered fences. It is more than 400 miles long. It is opposed by Palestinians who say it was encroached on their territory but its supporters say it has led to a huge reduction in terrorism in Israel.
Hadrian's Wall: Ordered by the emperor Hadrian to mark the northern boundary of the Roman Empire across the north of what is now England, the almost 2,000-year-old stone wall was up to 20 feet high in places and 73 miles long. Only vestiges exist.
Berlin Wall: Before it was largely torn down in 1989 the wall, built by East Germany, was 91 miles long in total and 12 feet high.


He told Fox News' Sean Hannity: 'There certainly can be a softening because we're not looking to hurt people.'
But speaking to CNN'S Anderson Cooper, his son Donald Trump Jr said he took the advisers' opinions but it does not mean his policies have changed.
He added: 'He wasn’t softening on anything. What he did was, and what he’s done all along is, he's speaking with the people.'

"We did discuss the wall. We didn't discuss payment of the wall, that will be for a later date."

You're a laughable joke.

Trump is out working and Hillary is on vacation until September 5th.

She's basically in hiding from voters and the media.

Love this Mexico visit by Trump.

He is not afraid to engage and/or negotiate with anyone towards the end of getting things done for the good of the country. He will negotiate with Democrats when he sits in the oval office. Unlike the present Potus who is always blaming the "other side" for ineffectiveness. I ask you, who is the leader, the guy who is supposed to engage all others. Yes, Barrack that was you. Bet we can count on the fingers of less than one hand the number of meetings you called with the leadership of the "other" party in an effort to get consensus. Total leadership fail.

I love the pundits. They are trying to dissect whether or not this Mexico meeting was good or bad for Trump's campaign. Trump doesan't give a shit about appearances. He gives a shit about solving America's problems. Talking to the guy whose people are causing many of them takes, balls, leadership, and can only be good.

Kudos to Mr Trump.

Actually Trump does care about appearence. More than anyone. And that's what today's trip to Mexico was about. Unthinkable that some can't see that.

They don't wanna see it. It doesn't penetrate their bubble. Drumpf AGAIN proved himself to be the most Gutless candidate in forever. Will pander to whatever audience he's in front of. Toady, Mexico. Pay for the Wall? Well, we didn't discuss it. :):). The whole thing that started his campaign, insulting Mexicans, Guaranteeing they'd pay for the wall. Today, Gutless pandering. The Idiot proves more and more what he's a pathetic, spineless idiot he is.
